Cotton Australia is backing the Queensland Farmers’ Federation (QFF) National Agriculture Day campaign by asking Queenslanders to reflect on what farmers mean to them and the agricultural products they can’t live without.

The Queenslanders Can’t Live Without campaign, launched today, is asking Queenslanders to visit the campaign website www.cantlivewithout.com.au where they can upload a photo and 25 words, or a 10-15 second video, explaining what agricultural product, food, fibre or foliage item they can’t live without.

The item/s must be an agricultural product i.e. a fruit, a vegetable, a meat product, a dairy product, a cotton product, a sugarcane product, a nursery or garden product, etc.

Cotton Australia General Manager Michael Murray said the cotton industry supports National Agriculture Day and in particular QFF’s campaign #qlderscantlivewithout because just about every person comes into contact with farm products every day.

“Queenslanders sleep in cotton, dry themselves after their morning shower with a cotton towel, wear cotton clothing and even filter their coffee with the help of cottons,” Mr Murray said.
