Getting The Best From The Woolbelt, Department Of Agriculture And Food, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Articles in this issue of the Journal of Agriculture discuss prospects for the wool industry and strategies for wool growers to increase their income and their long term viability.
The impact of low wool prices is greatest in the 'woo/belt' (see map) and the southern pastoral region. There is a need to boost the profitability of wool production and to increase income from sources other than wool in these regions.
The Productivity and Diversification Initiative for Wool Growers is refocussing Department of Agriculture resources to assist wool growers reduce costs, increase productivity and diversify into alternative enterprises.
The strategies recommended …

A by-product from the refining of bauxite ore in the South-West is proving a bonus for agriculture.
When spread over the land, not only is it improving soil quality, but it is helping to prevent leaching of phosphorus and the consequent massive algal blooms in the waterways.
Bauxite residue is also showing considerable promise in human and animal effluent disposal systems, composting urban refuse, sewage treatments and as a road base.
Western Australia is now in the forefront of this research which is attracting world-wide interest.
