It's official - CottonInfo has a Regional Extension Officer in northern Australia!
In this episode, we sit down with Nicole Bell, CottonInfo’s first-ever REO for the region, based in Kununurra.
Nicole shares her winding path into the cotton industry — from growing up in Narrabri and studying zoology, to working in research, pest management and on-farm trials across the country.
We chat about what drew Nicole to the new role, the excitement of bringing research closer to growers, and why northern Australia offers such a unique and resilient cotton-growing environment.
It’s a great chat about people, passion and the future of cotton in the north.
