Australians Grow Cotton in Namoi Valley Transforming Agriculture

The Namoi Valley near Wee Waa shows rapid cotton expansion with American and Australian growers converting dry farms to irrigated fields. About 27 000 bales valued at roughly 5 million dollars are expected from 16 000 sowings, with co operative gins and private gins processing the crop and plans to increase acreage next year. Chester V Grisham, a California cotton crusser with Calcot Ltd, notes Australia's promising future.
