Abstract:
A reflection of the value of the Cotton Production course by attendee Annette Heagney.
"The Cotton Production Course has immensely assisted me in my daily working life by providing a thorough understanding of cotton and the industry. The knowledge and skill set expanded upon throughout the course has enabled me to make informed decisions within our business, from the day-to-day operations through to the strategic and Board management decisions. The education I have received through the course has allowed me to confidently contribute towards the cotton and water user committees of which I am a member. I have also been able to expand on my knowledge by attending field days, the Cotton Conference and by having more informed conversations with fellow growers. The agronomics I have learnt through the course has been invaluable when applied to all facets of our mixed farming business. The Cotton Production Course provided me with an unexpected and extensive range of knowledge and skills relating to cotton, farming and business management that will continue to serve in my working life."
