I have worked in many areas but the area which I will talk to
you about today is
COTTON
. . . . Here is just a sneak peak
![Page 18: Hollie Baillieu asks "What are you wearing?"](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051323/547dd962b4af9fce158b5483/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Everywhere you
look there is
COTTON
![Page 20: Hollie Baillieu asks "What are you wearing?"](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051323/547dd962b4af9fce158b5483/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The
common
things . . . .
![Page 21: Hollie Baillieu asks "What are you wearing?"](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051323/547dd962b4af9fce158b5483/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The NOT so
common
things . . .
![Page 22: Hollie Baillieu asks "What are you wearing?"](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051323/547dd962b4af9fce158b5483/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
So….COTTON IS
EVERYWHERE
![Page 23: Hollie Baillieu asks "What are you wearing?"](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051323/547dd962b4af9fce158b5483/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
How
does
this
Become
this
![Page 24: Hollie Baillieu asks "What are you wearing?"](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051323/547dd962b4af9fce158b5483/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
1. Cotton seed planted.
With the correct:
Science
Soil conditions
Fertiliser
Management
Water (rain or irrigated)
The plant increases in height and width
Cotton is CONSTANTLY monitored
Hopefully it grows!!!
Early stage
![Page 25: Hollie Baillieu asks "What are you wearing?"](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051323/547dd962b4af9fce158b5483/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
2. A beautiful white flower forms followed by a pinky/purpley flower.
This produces a ‘boll’ - a green bud which gradually matures and opens
Cotton plant is defoliated and finally ready for picking.
Planting to harvesting takes 6-7 months.
Flowering/ boll stage
![Page 26: Hollie Baillieu asks "What are you wearing?"](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051323/547dd962b4af9fce158b5483/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
3. Picker picks the cotton
Empty’s into chaser bin
Which empty’s into module builder
Module builder compacts cotton
Tractor moves forward and pops out a cotton module
Picking
![Page 27: Hollie Baillieu asks "What are you wearing?"](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051323/547dd962b4af9fce158b5483/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
As an example…
Engineers, researchers, scientists and farmers
Have created something that can do all of what was shown in the previous slide . . .
As input COSTS for farming INCREASE
And prices back to farmers DECREASE
As well as INCREASING labour and
machinery costs
Farmers must be the most EFFICIENT and the most
TECHNOLOGICALLY advanced to evolve with these changes
IN ONE MACHINE
![Page 28: Hollie Baillieu asks "What are you wearing?"](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051323/547dd962b4af9fce158b5483/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The COTTON
ROUND BALER
Picks it
Compacts it
Wraps it
All while it is still moving!
Spits it out
![Page 29: Hollie Baillieu asks "What are you wearing?"](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051323/547dd962b4af9fce158b5483/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
How
this
Becomes
this
Ok, Now
lets get
back to…
![Page 30: Hollie Baillieu asks "What are you wearing?"](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051323/547dd962b4af9fce158b5483/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
4. The ‘GINNING’ Process
Cleans it
Separates seed from cotton
Grades it into different quality
Compacts it further into ‘bales’
Cotton is sold as BALES (227kg)
![Page 31: Hollie Baillieu asks "What are you wearing?"](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051323/547dd962b4af9fce158b5483/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Almost all parts of the cotton
plant are used in some way
Australia and Egypt produce the best
quality cotton in the world
Australia exports
cottonseed to Japan,
Korea, China, Saudi
Arabia and the USA.
![Page 32: Hollie Baillieu asks "What are you wearing?"](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051323/547dd962b4af9fce158b5483/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The fibre from one 227kg cotton bale can produce
215 pairs of jeans
250 single bed sheets
750 shirts
1,200 t-shirts
2,100 pairs of boxer shorts
3,000 nappies, 4,300 pairs of socks Or 680,000
cotton balls
![Page 33: Hollie Baillieu asks "What are you wearing?"](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051323/547dd962b4af9fce158b5483/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
So….
![Page 34: Hollie Baillieu asks "What are you wearing?"](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051323/547dd962b4af9fce158b5483/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
