25.01.2022 Sorghum harvest from a different angle. You can see the cotton paddocks just to the right. Both crops are being harvested at the same time, so the farm is a hive of activity at the moment!

21.01.2022 What a few weeks difference can make! The team at Colorada have been busy planting sorghum since late January. It has been loving the 350mm of rain that Colorada has been fortunate to receive in the last 6 wks! Unfortunately the rain was untimely for the cotton which was close to defoliating for harvest. So we have decided to grow the crop on & plan to harvest in early May. We welcome the break in season and the massive opportunity the rain has provided for our region.

11.01.2022 Australian cotton is grown by up to 1,500 mostly family farmers in 150 regional communities across NSW and Queensland. Cotton is really important in these smal...l rural towns and communities because it employs a lot of people and the farmers spend about 80% of their business expenses in their local area.

04.01.2022 Australian cotton growers don't just grow cotton. Many grow a range of other crops and work to ensure Aussies are clothed and fed. Watch this great video from... Mungindi-based grower Sam Heagney to discover how our farmers will keep feeding the nation throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Follow Sam on Twitter: @samheagney

04.01.2022 We experienced our best cotton harvest that we’ve had at Colorada so far with exceptional yields & quality in a challenging year. This year we planted a significantly reduced area due to the ongoing drought. We also decided to grow our cotton on after over 400mm of rain fell in January & February when it was due to be harvested, which delayed picking until early May. Here is Colorada farm manager Dean Thompson in the crop at harvest in May. We are really proud of our hard working team and the result of 17.29 bales per hectare. We appreciate the length of season and the opportunity that the CQ region provides. #cottonaustralia #australiancotton #auscotton #australianfarming #centralqueensland #emeraldqld #wemakeyourclothes @ Emerald, Queensland Dean Thompson Nigel Burnett Jayden Thompson Peter McGirr CQ Ag Services
