Wool Price Supports Resumed on Aug 15
The Department of Agriculture restarted the wool price support program on August 15 and will run it through 1948. Wool owned by producers on August 15 is eligible for purchase, with adjustments to pay more for fine wools and less for lower grades. Wool handlers will represent the Commodity Credit Corporation in purchases and handling. The program, re established by the 80th Congress, allows the CCC to dispose of wool stocks competitively, unlike the prior parity floor rule.
