Wool Growers Hold to Wool as Prices Rise in Cass County
Commission men warn the current thirty cent price may reflect an inflated market. About 50,000 pounds of wool, all from this season, are in store in Cass County with prices at their highest in years. Growers, confident prices will climb, delay sales aiming for thirty five cents, while mills pay at most thirty one. If held, the county clip could be worth about 315,000 dollars, though brokers fear a price break after the clip moves.
