A review is currently being undertaken by the Cotton Catchment Communities CRC of the BMP program so that it focuses on a more whole of farm business rather than on cotton alone. The vision is for every element of the program to make practical business sense to cotton growers.

This report forms the qualitative analysis of the BMP Trial Evaluation Project. Half-day workshops were run with key stakeholders of growers (8 workshops involving approximately 80 growers in total) and RD&E personnel (5 workshops with a total of approximately 50 people in total) to gain their feedback on the BMP program. RD&E staff attended meetings where the new BMP program was demonstrated.

Workshop/RD&E attendees were asked to fill out individual feedback forms (surveys) – capturing both quantitative and qualitative data. Group discussions to be held also present an opportunity to collect input – although no tool has been developed yet.
