Change Payments on Wool and Lambs
A Plymouth County vote details a shift in wool incentive payments for lambs sold with wool during the 1956 marketing year starting April 1. Under the new plan, each producer owning unshorn lambs 30 days or more earns a payment based on weight gained during ownership, reducing certification burdens. The original purchaser may receive payment on full weight at sale, with later owners paid only for weight produced during their hold. Ownership of 300 days remains an eligibility rule, and payments for shorn wool stay at a flat rate.
