WIN Initiative

18 January 2008

I commend Meat and Wool NZ and the Wool Industry Network on the model for change and would encourage all sheepfarmers particularly strong wool growers to carefully consider and give WIN any feedback, criticism or comment and seriously consider supporting the new co-operative when the prospectus arrives.

To quote from Model For Change, in nearly all cases where there has been successful market repositioning of product from the NZ rural sector the genesis has been producer unification.
