 Said best by Peter Downie of Downie-Dungrove farms,

”wool growing in Australia has been marginal financially for at least 15 years.  A normal response to this is to try and run even more stock or to intensify production using irrigation, chemicals and cultivation; this puts the natural ecology, people, and final product under stress. Luckily Teko sees what we are trying to achieve; by paying us a sustainable price for our wool, we can still justify maintaining our beautiful natural environment and make a good living for our family and employees.”
