Have no knowledge of farming whatsoever. But really good to see you utilizing agronomists who know what they are doing. Apart from knowing all the theory they can explain in terms that you as famers and we as viewers can understand. Nothing verbose, just good straight to the point and relevant info. Well done all.

Hi Matt . What a fantastic insight into cotton growing. Was mind blown with the commentary of the team. I have been following your cotton growing since you first planted and have been amazed with YOUR adventure into a completely different crop and your possible risks that could eventuate which I hope does not happen. It’s been some 2 years since I last commented, but have NOT missed a vlog since you started your channel. Cheers baird1949…Tassie watcher

The 3 gene technology cotton is an incredible plant it’s extremely drought & insect tolerant. And varieties like RRF 714 breed specifically for dryland conditions. It’s are far better option than sorghum as a summer crop They normally use pigeon peas in irrigated cotton or RR 711 cotton as a refuge

I have to put this to you, do not take it personally and please correct me if I am wrong in my assumptions. I have been following your channel since conception and enjoy it immensely as it is educational as well as entertaining. Unfortunately 70% of our population have now idea what is involved to supply fresh food to the supermarkets, where eggs or milk come from or what agriculture occurs West of the Great divide. I travel through NSW and have noticed a large increase of what used to be grain sheep or cattle land being cultivated for cotton, the Hay plains a notable example. South West and central West Qld are other areas transitioned to cotton and that is only what I have seen. The general conception of this is cotton has a higher yield dollar wise per acre but the prime market is China. If that is the case is planting cotton for a Chinese market a detriment to planting grain for the Australian market.

The vast majority of Australian grain is exported the exact number escapes me at the moment.
@thejacksonbrothers4 ай бұрын
Thanks for the support! I’m pretty sure up to 2 thirds of Australian grain is exported anyway so there isn’t really an impact on product for the Australian market👍 I could be wrong though
@darrylpaulhus30694 ай бұрын
@thejacksonbrothers according to ABARES and USDA Australia consumes domestically about 7 to 8 million tonnes of wheat most of this for cattle feed and exports account for about 18 million tonnes per year based on 10 year averages.

Gross margins are better I believe so. But the cotton harvesting and planting equipment is more specific. Which males it less desirable for growers to grow unless on large scale.
