Elizabeth Stott and husband Dallas run their irrigated farm near Leeton in the Riverina region of NSW and their first cotton crop was in the 2010/11 season when they planted 120 hectares, eventually planting up to 1000 hectares of cotton when the conditions were suitable.

Liz has been on the board of Cotton Australia since 2021 and has served as deputy chair for the past two years.

A graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors' course, Liz holds postgraduate qualifications in science and rural leadership, completing the Australian Rural Leadership Program in 2014.

Liz has a professional background in water policy and public relations and has held roles on a number of advisory boards including the National Water Grid Advisory Body and is currently on the board of Riverina Local Land Services.

Earlier this year Liz and Dallas attained their myBMP certification, becoming one of the first farms to be certified in the calendar year.

"We are committed to innovation and continuous improvement, embracing technology and research to grow high-quality crops efficiently and sustainably."

Liz praised myBMP, the best practice cotton program, as playing a part in improving their farming outcomes whilst streamlining business practices.

Liz and Dallas were early adopters of bankless channel layouts and irrigation automation, sharing their results with fellow growers throughout cotton growing regions.
