Chairman Warren Jonsson said the meeting would be held at the Atherton RSL conference room on 4 March from 3pm- 5pm. 

“We are about promoting sustainable cropping options and rural development in the north,” Mr Jonsson said. 

Strong supporters of the northern cotton industry, the group aims to provide direction and support for research and development programs and initiatives in the area and relevant cropping information to their members. 

“FNQ Sustainable Cropping want to offer a strong, united voice to governments and their agencies on member issues and concerns and become a platform for hosting funding opportunities for research and development or special targeted reports affecting members,” Mr Jonsson said. 

Mr Jonsson said the group planned to develop carbon opportunities in the northern cropping system and to be a point of contact for industry issues such as the Fall army worm invasion and provide support for research and development programs and initiatives.
