The Australian Cotton Industry is developing a carbon (C) footprint calculator for cotton farms.

To quantify and explain patterns of soil compaction caused by cotton pickers and to develop a set of practical recommendations for minimising soil damage during harvesting operations.

challenges suggest the need for research with cotton growers, distributers and participants in the production cycle, to understand what people think the future holds for the industry, and it's cotton communities.

This paper communicates further the findings, pertaining to the John Deere 7760 (JD7760) round module picker, of the Cotton Growing Practices 2013 industry survey and current research at the National Centre for Engine

The issue being addressed? With yields now approaching cotton's known physiological limit, the focus is on how to sustain productivity growth through crop management.
