Wool Payments Set For 1964 Marketing Year
ASCS announces shorn wool payments for the 1964 marketing year totaling 16.5 percent of producer returns from shorn wool sales January through December 1964. The incentive level aligns with a national wool price of 33.2 cents per pound and a 62 cent per pound target, yielding about $16.40 per $100 of marketings. For 1963 the rate was $27.80 per $100 as the price averaged 48.5 cents. A 35 cent per hundredweight payment on unshorn live lambs remains to offset wool on those lambs.
