Cotton Growth Prospects in Bowen District Survey

The Bowen Chamber of Commerce reports on cotton opportunities in the Bowen district based on a Department of Agriculture study. It details soils along the Bowen and Den rivers, irrigation potential, rainfall, and current crops, noting cotton and tomatoes as profitable, with irrigation expanding production and a push to diversify beyond staples. It cites past acreage, yields, and the impact of pests, land use, and market prices, plus government share-farming schemes and the cotton bounty program.
