For wool growing to truly become a successful and profitable business for all participants, more growers and family farming units must find ways to adopt elements of those characteristics associated with high performing farms. To do this, wool growers and their service providers must come to understand the different approaches to farming practice and the interaction between the social (people), biological (farming) and business management aspects of wool growing. This paper provides an introduction to the concept of wool growing as a 'business' and considers the interaction between the social (people), biological (farming) and business management aspects of the wool enterprise.
