Australian cotton industry names grower of the year
24/08/2022
Nick Gillingham heads a team of 20 that grows cotton at a farm called Keytah, near Moree in New South Wales.
The farm consists of 25,000 hectares with 10,000 under irrigation and half utilised for cotton each year in a 100% rotation. In addition, 10,000 hectares are assigned to dryland cropping with another 5,000 retained as native vegetation.
Judges said the farm had a strong track record for investing in research and for sharing its knowledge with others in the industry. Keytah’s carbon-neutral status and commitment to traceability also impressed the panel.
The award is sponsored by Bayer.
