Following last week's announcement about our new Executive Director Allan Williams, our congratulations also to CRDC's new Deputy Chair Bernie George and new General Manager, Innovation Dr Meredith Conaty.
All three announcements are the result of last week's CRDC board meeting in Emerald, where our Directors also reviewed our team's innovation plans and investment recommendations, visited CRDC-supported trials, and met with local growers.
Pictured here are CRDC's Directors on-farm: ED Allan Williams, Sally Ceeney, the Hon. Niall Blair, Michelle Tierney, Chair Richard Haire, Julie Bird, Deputy Chair Bernie George and Ross Burnett.
The Spring 2025 edition of Spotlight captures a season of progress and partnership in Australian cotton. This issue leads with the announcement of the Australian Cotton Industry Data Platform build – a $7 million CRDC initiative with KPMG Australia – set to streamline data management, boost traceability and prepare growers for future market demands.
