Cotton picking in Central Highlands | QCL | 28/02/2023
  • last year
The central Queensland cotton pick is officially underway, with pickers hitting cotton fields earlier this week.
Growers on the Central Highlands in Emerald, who planted early in August, are taking advantage of sunny conditions to pick the crop.
Some irrigators in the Dawson and Callide Valleys near Theodore are also picking at the moment.
The Barnes family of CQ Compost at Tinkelara, Emerald, were one of the first operations in the region to pick their crops first, with one of their 50 hectare blocks averaging 12-13 bales/ha.
The Barnes' brought in Sam Dawson of SMD Contracting to pick their cotton.
