Increase Scheduled For Wool Producers
Tazewell County wool producers will gain a one cent per pound increase for 1968 shorn wool marketings. The U S Department of Agriculture sets a shorn wool incentive price at 67 cents per pound for 1968, up from the prior year. Pulled wool support matches this incentive level, with shorn wool payments tied to a percentage of each producer’s sales, aimed at lifting the national average price to 67 cents.
