[QUOTE="Steel, post: 5859198, member: 13822"] They later put out another release correcting the figures and now say there is no irrigated cotton around Bourke. I think the Cubbie figures are wrong too. A group of farmers from here went to Cubbie on a tour last year. At the time they were draining the storages to irrigate the small crop of cotton that year with water saved from the 2016 floods. They thought the cotton would need another irrigation to get a decent yield, but had no water left and were hoping for rain to finish the crop. The river needs to be doing 8000 ML a day before they can pump water and as there has been no substantial rain there in the last year so they have had no opportunity to store any water this year. Another fact the tour was told was that they are regularly throwing Jeremy Buckingham off the farm. He never asks for permission to go on the property and always does a runner before they can get the police there to have him charged with trespass. [/QUOTE]
