Inland rail offers agricultural savings on a plate
Advertisement
CSIRO research into the Melbourne to Brisbane Inland Rail project has determined that shifting horticulture and processed agriculture from road to rail could reduce transport costs for the agricultural industry by an estimated $70 million per year.
Australia’s national science agency conducted a pilot study in 2018 using their successful computer logistics tool TraNSIT (Transport Network Strategic Investment Tool), along with extensive industry engagement, to focus on Parkes to Narromine in Central West NSW.
Researchers identified a baseline of existing freight movements in this area to estimate the potential transport cost savings for the entire Inland Rail project, marking the first time such a detailed analysis on road to rail supply chains in Australia has been completed.
They considered horticulture, and processed agriculture, such as meat, rice and dairy products.
The analysis showed if existing agricultural road trips were shifted to Inland Rail, the agricultural industry could save between $64 to $94 per tonne (depending on back-loading).
This equates to about $70 million in reduced transport costs per year based on the shift of 923,000 tonnes of horticultural and processed

agriculture to the lower cost transport option that Inland Rail provides.
Additional analysis revealed that if existing coastal rail trips shifted to inland rail, this would result in an estimated saving of $28 to $35 per tonne.
“Our research has shown that Inland Rail would bring an improvement in rail travel time and transport cost, particularly important when considering perishable products.
This would make it a lot more competitive with the travel time advantages of road transport,” CSIRO TraNSIT leader Dr Andrew Higgins said.
Parkes to Narromine was chosen for the case study as it is the first section of track to undergo construction. There are also a large number of supply chains in this pilot area involving hundreds of stakeholders.
“A big cost in food production is transport, particularly given the large distribution of where and when it is grown across Australia, and the long distances to major domestic markets, often over 1000 kilometres,” Andrew said.
“These type of savings with Inland Rail would mean companies would have lower cost access to markets further away than they supplied to in the past.
“The benefit is for those selling to market, basically large farming corporations, food companies and those behind processing facilities.
“You’d expect the savings would then be passed back onto farmers.”
The Australian Government has committed $9.3 billion to complete the 1700 kilometre spine of Australia’s freight rail network that will connect Melbourne to Brisbane in under 24 hours.
As a next step, TraNSIT will now be applied to the broader Inland Rail corridor (commencing with the southern corridor from Narromine to Seymour) to obtain even more detailed cost savings across a broader range of commodities.
New commodities will include grains, cotton, livestock, wool, minerals and general freight.
TraNSIT has been used in previous research to test the benefits of transport infrastructure in regard to upgrading roads in northern Australia, and calculating agriculture and forestry transport benefits for industry and various levels of government.
The TraNSIT computer modelling tool works by analysing every possible combination of transport routes and modes (road and rail) and determining those that optimise vehicle movements between enterprises in the agriculture supply chain.

Measuring the maturity of unopened cotton bolls
By Robert Long 1 , Cheryl McCarthy 2 , Mike Bange 1
Dr Robert Long.
AT A GLANCE…
The boll cutting technique allows cotton crop managers to gauge the maturity of cotton bolls. The aim of this work was to assess the feasibility of using near infrared (NIR) portable technology as a non-destructive rapid replacement for boll maturity determination. In a study using a Felix F-750 Produce Quality Meter, NIR spectra (702-1100nm) of bolls that were both immature and mature were successfully calibrated with the instrument using partial least squares regression.
Validation of the model with an independent population correctly identified the maturity of the bolls with greater than 90 per cent accuracy. This technology may assist in guiding decisions around harvest to optimise fibre quality and yield. Future research is working towards developing more precise algorithms to further categorise the maturity of bolls.
Cotton is a perennial plant grown as an annual crop. To ensure cotton crops are prepared for a single machine harvest, various management strategies incorporating a number of boll and crop maturity measurement methods are employed. One method is the boll cutting technique, as outlined by Mike Bange and co-authors in the 2018 version of FIBREpak, where unopened bolls are cut transversely near the equator. Cut bolls are examined for a number of factors, including examining the colour of the coat and internal tissue of cut seeds (Figure 1).

internal seed tissue indicate that bolls are mature enough and ready for boll opening and leaf defoliation (harvest aid) chemistry. While this technique is simple and requires inexpensive tools, it is destructive and time consuming. Considering the biochemical changes occurring in developing bolls, such as to starch, protein and oil levels in the seeds, it is hypothesised that using near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is an appropriate technology to non-destructively and rapidly determine boll maturity.
The Felix F-750 portable NIR Produce Quality Meter (Felix Instruments, Camas WA) was designed to acquire spectra from whole fruits, and was identified as an appropriate candidate instrument for this work. The aim was to obtain spectra of whole unopened cotton bolls,

determine the maturity of these bolls via the boll cutting technique, and then attempt to develop a calibration between NIR spectra and boll maturity reference data.
Methods and materials
Unopened cotton bolls of a popular variety were harvested between February and April in 2018 from fields located at the Australian Cotton Research Institute at Narrabri. Bolls harvested were randomly selected from any position within any given plant, from several tens of randomly selected plants. Two populations were used for experiments.
FIGURE 4: Using a Felix F-750 Produce Quality Meter to acquire NIR spectral information from a cotton boll in a commercial crop
Population ‘A’ consisted of 150 bolls, and population ‘B’ consisted of 70 bolls (Table 1).
On any relevant day, bolls were harvested before 11:00am and then set out on a laboratory bench and allowed to equilibrate to ambient air conditions (21 to 25°C) for approximately two hours prior to NIR spectral acquisition. Spectra were then collected from bolls using a Felix F-750 hand held instrument. One lot of spectral information was collected at one equatorial position on each boll (Figure 2). Bolls were then subjected to the boll cutting technique and designated as either mature or immature (Table 1). Partial least squares (PLS) regression using The Unscrambler X version 10.5.1 (CAMO, Oslo) software package, was used to develop a calibration between NIR spectra (Figure 3) and boll maturity data.
Results and discussion
The calibration developed using population A produced reasonable performance statistics 91 per cent of the time. The calibration was successfully validated. Validation statistics for population B resulted in correct designation 93 per cent of the time. The success of the calibration can most likely be attributed to changes in the biochemistry of developing seeds, and changes in the moisture content of developing fibres might also play a role.
Conclusions
Further work will hope to develop a working calibration for a Felix F-750 and attempt to use the instrument in broader management scenarios (Figure 4). Other portable NIR instruments are likely to be useful also, although the ultimate success of any instrument will depend on whether spectrally meaningful light can penetrate deep enough into boll tissue and be attenuated by relevant molecules. The simultaneous measurement and NIR calibrations to other boll components such as moisture content of fibre and dry matter content of the seeds, might improve non-destructive unopened boll maturity determination. This work also points to a future where such noninvasive equipment might be part of a robotic in-field device, which enables the automatic and constant monitoring of boll and crop maturity.

A comprehensive review of global market conditions
As we head towards Christmas there remain two big unanswered questions. Is it going to rain in time to allow cotton acres to be planted across much of Australia’s key growing regions? Will the US and China continue to make progress on a trade deal and what impact will that have on cotton prices? For now, we continue to watch the weather forecasts that currently show little promise. The prospect that we may have one of our smallest cotton crops in a decade is looking more likely as each week passes by. We also continue to watch the news headlines for any positive developments in the US/China trade deal. And while progress appears to be at snail pace, we remain realistic that a trade deal may only bring a temporary reprieve with the global growth outlook less inspiring. In 2019/20, global cotton production is expected to increase by 4.8 per cent year on year to just shy of 125 million bales. The three largest cotton producers (India, China and the US) account for nearly 65 per cent of global production. In the past few years production in Brazil has increased from a relatively consistent six to seven million bale national crop to over 10 million bales in both 2018/19 and 2019/20. And while Australian cotton plays an important role in the export market thanks to its high quality and proximity to spinning mills, we account for less than one per cent of total production. Unfortunately, the opposite side of the balance sheet, global cotton consumption, is somewhat worrisome. Over the past three years consumption has hovered around 122 million bales in an environment of increasing supply. As such, global ending stocks are expected to increase 3.7 per cent y-o-y with even larger percentage increases expected in the US (44.3 per cent) and Indian (33.4 per cent) ending stocks. Meanwhile China has bucked the trend where they have managed to all but halve the amount of cotton being held from 66.92 million bales in 2014/15 to an estimated 33.25 million bales in 2019/20. We might all be a little quieter this coming season than what we would like. However, with cash prices in the high $500/ bale range and historically high GFS offers it’s not all doom and gloom. And while a smaller Aussie crop won’t influence cotton futures, we do expect basis levels to remain steady with strong competition from the merchant community.

2019 crop quality
Despite the hottest, driest cotton season on record, the Australian crop maintained its reputation for high grade cotton among the world’s best.
Staple length
Over 93 per cent of the crop went base (36) or better with 68 per cent of the crop at 38 or higher – a great result.
FIGURE 1: Staple length of the 2019 crop
5% 7% 9%
Grade
Although not quite as good as the previous year, 72 per cent of the crop had a grade of 21-3 or better with almost none graded below 31-3.
Micronaire
Not surprisingly given the hot season, around 8 per cent of the crop had high micronaire (5.0 and above) while 46 per cent was in the prime 3.8-4.5 range.
Strength and uniformity
Once again, the strength of the crop was excellent and only 5 per cent of samples had uniformity below 80.

Auscott Limited
Auscott Limited was established in 1963 as a subsidiary of the US based JG Boswell Company.
The company is vertically integrated through the growing, ginning and marketing sectors of the industry. Auscott is also a large producer of wheat and other grains, grown both as a cotton rotation and as a dryland crop.
The geographical spread of the company’s farming over the Namoi, Macquarie and Murrumbidgee valleys has allowed for the hedging of production risk, and delivered benefits to customers during adverse climatic conditions. Auscott operates five gins over the three valleys.
Auscott’s involvement with the Australian cotton industry does not stop at the farm gate. Participation within the industry is actively encouraged and is demonstrated through an association with 27 industry bodies. Company employees freely give their time to these bodies at no cost to the associations.

Carroll Cotton
Carroll Cotton Co has been delivering the highest quality in cotton ginning and customer service for over 20 years. Located in the New South Wales cotton growing region of the Upper Namoi Valley, Carroll Cotton Co is an independent cotton gin and one of a few family-owned gins remaining in Australia. It is also the most eastern NSW cotton gin in Australia, giving it an export location and proximity advantage to Sydney and Newcastle ports.
The Carroll Cotton Co mission is simple – to work closely with the grower to deliver a customised cotton ginning service (maximising their returns) through world’s best practice and market expertise. As Carroll Cotton Co is a privately owned ginning company, each grower has a valued and personal relationship directly with the gin owner. This creates an environment that allows them to deliver ginning services that can be tailored to each client’s particular requirements.
As an independent Carroll Cotton Co are able to take a very hands-on approach, and offer complete flexibility that allows all cotton merchants to purchase processed bales straight out of their ginning facilities without restriction. This gives the grower the unique and valued opportunity to secure the most competitive cotton pricing from all lint merchants.

Koramba is a privately owned integrated cotton growing and ginning operation situated on the Macintyre River between Goondiwindi and Mungindi.
The four-stand Lummus gin was built in 1992. At the beginning of 2018 a new humidaire unit was installed to maximise moisture in the bales produced at the gin.
The gin is not reliant on a power supply from local authorities as all power is generated on site. This feature provides total flexibility, allowing Koramba to process cotton day or night and without the expensive start up costs levied on other gins. The current power generation system has been active since 2001 and comprises state of the art equipment.
The gin not only processes Koramba’s production but contract gins for growers in an area stretching from Goondiwindi to Mungindi and up to St George. Contract ginning takes priority over Koramba’s own cotton unless otherwise requested by the grower. Large gin runs are individually tailored to suit growers’ requests.
The ginning facility is complemented by a seed storage shed and a large flood free all-weather module yard.
Koramba was purchsed by Australian Food abd Fibre in 2017

Australian Classing Services
Australian Classing Services (ACS) have been servicing Australian Cotton Growers and Merchants since 2003. We are currently the most technologically advanced cotton classing facility in Australia.
Our in-house quality assurance program is the best in the Australian Classing industry ands includes the ‘cross checking’ of results between our four HVI machines. We also take the time to perform ‘check tests’, where cotton with a known value is tested frequently to ensure the precise calibration of our HVI machines. We are the only classing room in Australia to offer such a detailed and consistent QA program ensuring our clients are provided the most accurate results, each and every time.
Our purpose-built software, streamlined systems and barcode scanners ensure your classing results are delivered in an efficient and timely manner, with traceability throughout the whole process from gin to classing result.
The ACS team realise trust is everything, which is why we invite you, our growers, merchants and clients to watch us class your cotton. We aim to build trust and educate interested parties on the finer details of classing. This in turn, assists you in making better agronomic and ginning decisions.
At ACS, your cotton samples are conditioned and tested under precise atmospheric conditions in line with the Cotton Classer’s Association of Australia (CCAA), BMP, USDA and the International Textile Manufacturers Federation (ITMF) standards for cotton testing. This is backed up by a team of experienced USDA qualified classers.

Our mantra is “Professional Independent Classing” and that is exactly what we provide. This is done with the help of a team of industry professionals with long term domestic and international experience, a fleet of the most up to date cotton testing equipment (HVI machines), a state-of-the-art humidification and environment conditioning system and a proactive, forward thinking Board of Directors.
