What is The Australian Cottongrower website?

The Australian Cottongrower (cottongrower.com.au) is a publication by Greenmount Press covering production, marketing, and topical articles for the Australian cotton industry. It is aimed at growers and others working in or following the sector, and it offers a current issue, back issues, and a subscribe option. If you want industry news, agronomy and crop-protection coverage, or a way to follow Australian cotton business and supply-chain topics, this site is a relevant starting point.

• Back Issues — an archive of previous editions.
• Subscribe — a dedicated subscription page.
• Advertise — information for advertisers.
• Contact and About — organisational and contact details.
• Log In — an account login option.

Example articles

The current issue illustrates the mix of news, feature reporting, and practical guidance:

• "Brimblecombe family named 2026 Bayer Cotton Grower of the Year" — coverage of the Australian Cotton Conference awards dinner, recognising growers, innovators, leaders, and researchers.
• "Can cotton yarn manufacturing return to Australia?" — a feature noting that Australia grows some of the world's highest-quality cotton, yet exports it as raw fibre before it returns as imported yarn, fabric, and finished garments.
• "Reduce the guesswork in rainfed planting decisions" — a piece on dryland or rainfed cotton production, which the publication describes as inherently risky because of the number of unknown variables at planting time.
• "Cotton Australia appoints Matt Linnegar as new General Manager" — industry news on a leadership change, succeeding Michael Murray, who is retiring in November after 16 years with the organisation.

The site also carries items such as the 2027 Nuffield Scholars announcement, the graduation of the 2026 Future Cotton Leaders cohort, new Cotton Australia board directors, and research into drought-resilient cropping systems.

Who it is for

The Australian Cottongrower is most useful if you are:

• A cotton grower or farm manager looking for agronomy, crop protection, or irrigation coverage.
• Someone working in the cotton supply chain, marketing, or industry bodies.
• A researcher, student, or journalist needing Australian cotton industry news and feature reporting.
• An advertiser wanting to reach that audience.

If your interest is cotton production outside Australia, or general agriculture rather than the Australian cotton sector specifically, the site's focus will be narrower than you need.

Deciding whether to subscribe

The site lists a Subscribe option, but the available information does not state prices, subscription tiers, or whether any content is free versus paid. To judge whether it is worth subscribing, check the subscription page directly for current terms, and use the Current Issue and Back Issues sections to sample the editorial style and depth first.
