CRDC and UNE: Fullfilling industry needs

Abstract

Last year’s Cotton Industry Awards held at the Australian Cotton Conference have highlighted the success of the University of New England's (UNE) Cotton Production Course, supported by CRDC. Four of the young achiever nominees were previous cotton production course students, who have been guided through their study by Brendan Griffiths, who himself was a course student, ‘way back’ in 1994. Brendan’s name is perhaps not the only one known to many in the industry from that year, which also included well known industry identities Jim O’Connor, Chris McCormack and Annabelle Guest, among many others.
