Last chance to vote by 10am today for AWIâs future. Will it change & survive?
The old saying âall chiefs, no indiansâ is inappropriate these days, no doubt. But with AWI being controlled by stud breeders for at least 15 years & wool production decreasing by more than 30% in the past 10 years⌠More stud breeders on the AWI Board = less growers.

Love your passion @steve_noa But I will be voting for Mirams, Uren, Swan. Voting for the others will mean MORE of the same: more decline in production.
Good evening WA woolgrowers. Iâve resurfaced after naively thinking that "wool was back" just a month ago, only to find us back in a situation where prolonged weak demand has extinguished what turned out to be a firecracker rather than a rocket. Fact is that less and less people

Paul Swan should have been first pick for the AWI BNC: Experience with wool research, extension, genetics, woolâs carbon credentials for 15? years. Plus he is independent, a rare thing for AWI Board members.
@Martin_Opp Why Swan?

Hey @steve_noa itâs happening on the eastern side as well. It would be good if people did âkeep the sheepâ but unfortunately leadership sees no need to change directionâŚ
If we continue to drop in sheep numbers and the mix goes away from merino then there gets to a point where a selling centre is unviable... as we have seen in the past. We are on track to drop to 7.5 million sheep this time next year unless a 'shot of confidence' such as a

South African wool at a premium? Must be because they spent $500 million, make that $369??? Hahaha Million on Marketing. (or maybe they just promoted non mulesing)
South African wool has gone from being discounted to Australian wool and is now at a premium.

AWI Board showing they have no solutions for 30% lower production & same price as 10 years ago. Growers are getting ripped offâŚ
Are wool growers getting any value out of the hundreds of millions of dollars they spend on marketing? Listen back to the Country Hour podcast đ https://t.co/2CUIhLIaX7
