CRDC undertakes an annual survey of cotton growers to gather information about farming practices and growers’ views on research, development and extension. This information helps to inform CRDC about the benefits of the research it invests in. Change in industry practice can be quantified by comparing information across the surveys conducted over the past 20 years.
Previous surveys have included a number of core annual questions and then a number of focus areas to investigate specific aspects of the farming system.
The most recent survey is the 2024 survey: the results of which are available in two formats: a PDF of the survey report; and an interactive digital dashboard, which you can explore online.
