The future of agriculture in Australia depends on the type of people who are in the cotton industry. The future depends on a professional & aggressive approach to the business of farming, prepared for change. Looking to the future with a positive attitude. The political landscape has changed dramatically in the last couple of months so that Rural Australia has been put back on the agenda. The Queensland election has cleared the way, for politicians to respond to the requirements of agriculture and that is an opportunity for cotton farmers to show the way. We must take that Opportunity and get involved.
