Abstract | The grower-group concept in the sugar industry has been constantly enhanced and provides a great opportunity to share information and experience with other growers. This tour saw the enhancement of learning opportunities through the opportunity to meet with growers from other agricultural sectors. The trip visited Moree to learn from grain and cotton growers of their experiences in the implementation of new farming systems, especially of the change process, advantages and disadvantages, and the long-term benefits. The trip then took the participants to visit the cane industry in northern NSW, specifically in the Harwood area and Rocky Point in south eastern Queensland. |
