Orion grower first to gain sunflower accreditation

摘要

CENTRAL Queensland sunflower producer Sam Bradford is the first of 74 growers and advisers attending Better Sunflower workshops to complete his nationally recognised accreditation. It's been a challenging season for the team at Arcturus Downs Pty Ltd, who have battled record breaking floods, unseasonal rainfall and subsequent outbreaks of feathertop Rhodes grass (FTR). Sam manages four properties across 34,900 hectares, located adjacent to the Comet River at Orion near Springsure. They have raingrown and irrigated cropping, as well as store and fat cattle.
