The high attendance and enthusiastic parti cipation during the four-day prog ram of meetings and informational sessions reflects the strong com mitments by producers and indivi duals from related segments of the sheep industry to work more close ly together to achieve common goals. A primary issue discussed dur ing annual meetings of the Nation al Wool Growers Association, National Lamb Feeders Associa tion and American Sheep Produc ers Council was consolidation of the three organizations. Each orga nization voted to further explore the concept. The objectives of consolidation are to conserve limited resources and improve program effective ness. The concept was developed by producer leaders at a recent industry long-range planning conference. Following approval to explore the consolidation concept, organi zation presidents, Bill Pfluger (NWGA), Edgar Olson (ASPC), and Richard Drake (NLFA) selected an 11-member Industry Consolidation Task Force to deve lop a consolidation plan. Don Meike from Kaycee, Wyo. was selected as task force chairman. Other members will be announced following notification. The task force will address the merging issue over the coming year. During this period, prelimin ary proposals will be presented for review by local, state and national organizations. Recommendations will be presented for consideration at the next industry convention in January 1989. During business meetings of industry organizations, 1988 offic ers were elected.
