Testimonial: Wool production & biodiversity working together for The McKemey Family - 'Willow Park'
No full textJohn and Helen McKemey and their children, Daniel, Hannah and David, own 'Willow Park' and nearby 'Karingal' and run the two farms as a family partnership. John's father purchased and developed 'Willow Park' in the 1940s. The McKemeys run a Merino wool and beef cattle trading operation as well as back-grounding cattle. They source 16-19 micron Merino sheep which cut around 3.6 kg wool/head. They buy cattle in spring, fatten them across the summer and sell prior to winter. They changed to a trade operation in 1999 from a prime lamb enterprise for the preceding 40 years. The McKemeys have progressively adopted high-intensity, short-duration ('cell') grazing since 1991. This testimonial describes their management and experience with cell grazing over the past 15 years, and the many positive changes they have witnessed for both farm profits and the environment

REVEALED COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE AND THE MEASUREMENT OF INTERNATIONAL COMPETITIVENESS FOR AGRICULTURAL COMMODITIES: AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS OF WOOL EXPORTERS
Get PDFTrade liberalization and laissez-faire economics are altering the structure of agricultural production and trade. The principle of comparative advantage, a classic tenet of economics, is a useful tool for understanding the future of world agriculture. This study employs a "Revealed Comparative Advantage" approach to investigate patterns of comparative advantage among six major wool exporting countries.International Relations/Trade,

Estimating Distributional Impacts of an Innovation Across Sectors in an Industry: A case study of the Australian wool industry
Get PDFIn this paper an approach that can be used to determine the distribution of a productivity gain on an industry is detailed. In particular, the model developed in this paper extends earlier evaluations by emphasising the crucial role of substitution between inputs across different participants in the supply chain. Crucial to any analysis of an industry are the estimates of the elasticity's of derived demand at each stage and how it changes, as the product is further refined. The wool industry is used to illustrate the effects of an innovation across sectors.Agribusiness, Production Economics,

Wool Metrology Research Gaps and Innovation
No full textThis paper summarises an extensive review of research and development in wool metrology to date, in which the research undertaken on wool properties is analysed to identify gaps that might be exploited through the application of new or novel use of technologies by the next generation of wool metrologists. The analysis indicates that although the main fibre/fleece characteristics which currently affect the pricing and trading of Merino wool are able to be readily and accurately measured, there remains considerable work to be done in linking wool measurements to the prediction of performance both in processing and in the final product
