Western sheepmen urged to adapt to world markets
President Alfred Atkinson of Montana State College urged Montana wool growers to adopt modern practices to compete in global markets. He warned that cheap feed and production alone no longer ensure success, calling for improved lamb quality, better equipment, and active study of world conditions. He noted machinery boosts output but creates surpluses, pressing producers to create demand and expand markets, especially as western states increase production while population lags.
