Wool Growers Sell Large Amount of Cooperative Wool
Palo Alto County growers shipped two more loads to the Iowa Sheep and Wool Growers' Association this week, lifting the year total to over 25,000 pounds sold cooperatively. A shipment is planned for Thursday, June 9, with local growers gathering at the Farm Bureau office to participate. Final settlements from 1931 brought Iowa wool growers over 40,000 dollars, and despite a weak market after the 1930 pool, growers who pooled that year earned more than the initial advances each year, with advances continuing promptly from the State Association.
