Wool Prices Rise Not Reflecting Market Bargains
Wool prices show advance from last year but farmers’ returns lag due to lighter shorn weights and a dry season. In NSW and Queensland growers report lower yields, causing overall per head returns near 7/6 to 8/6, with some cases 14d to 16d per lb. Market remains strong for merino wool, yet wholesale costs and stock levels abroad temper gains.
