03/06/2013
Cotton farmers have complained that an increase of 20% will make it difficult for them to carry out their irrigation programmes.
Cotton Australia’s Queensland policy manager, Michael Murray, told local media that the 20% increase would mean the cost of running irrigators would have risen by 250% in total since 2000, which he described as “simply unsustainable”.
