Proud Sponsors of the 2009 Australian Cotton Industry Awards
"AgriRisk is delighted to again be involved with the Australian Cotton Industry Awards, as the proud sponsor of the Innovative Grower of the Year Award. The growers nominated for this award deal with changing climate conditions, a fluctuating market, shifting government policy and water restrictions, amongst other things, and must continually innovate their farming practices to meet these challenges. Being an agricultural company also subject to the vagaries of the weather and international commodity markets, we can empathise with the challenges faced by today's growers as we too seek to achieve the best for our clients. It is a pleasure to be able to recognise the contribution these innovators are making to this dynamic industry through our sponsorship of this award."
