Farmers urged to hold wool to qualify for payments
Clare county agricultural agent P. D. Gibson reminds farmers who shear sheep this season to retain title to their wool until after April to be eligible for government payments. The wool act sets an incentive price of 62 cents per pound for shorn wool, with payments based on the gap between the national average and 62 cents, so higher wool earnings increase the incentive payment.
