Growing Cotton Makes Good Business Sense

Dryland cotton offers one of the best gross margins for summer cropping. With a range of marketing options available, growing dryland cotton makes good business sense, and more and more broadacre growers are making the switch.
Advances in biotechnology have resulted in the need to use fewer insecticide sprays to manage pests.
This has resulted in reduced labour, lower costs and a more manageable cash flow.
Plus, a new suite of high yielding and high quality varieties for dryland cotton are highly adapted for dryland production, giving you the opportunity to maximise returns while minimising risks.
