4. Extension, Industry Education, and R&D

During the Wool Committee held a Forum and Dinner in Wagga Wagga to discuss a variety of issues, including strategic visions for the wool industry, sheep genetics, the wool test marketing campaign, on-farm productivity improvements and shearing education and technologies. The aim of the Forum was to provide growers with the opportunity to have input and open discussion with industry representatives and to assist the Committee’s policy development.

From all the feedback that we have received the forum was seen as highly beneficial. We are hoping that this will become a regular event and play a key role in disseminating information to producers on the valuable research, program, marketing and innovation activities that are occurring within the industry. The committee has started planning for next year’s forum and is looking forward to another successful event.
