AWI grower networks

AWI’s grower networks are fundamental to the spread of new ideas, continuing education and the adoption of best practice. Community-based education groups are present in each state and open to local woolgrowers.

AWI grower networks operate in each wool growing state and territory. They provide opportunities for woolgrowers and producers to get involved in educational and practical programs that focus on making changes to production and management practices.

AWI Grower group networks are an integral part of AWI's strategy for delivering research and development outcomes.

Grower groups are about self directed learning - woolgrowers identify what they would like to focus on and determine the outcome. Grower groups cover a wide range of production and management practices such as grazing management and price risk management.

To learn more about AWI grower groups and how you can get involved, please call the AWI helpline toll free on 1800 070 099.
