Wool production in Marshall County grows strong
The Marshall Statesman reports wool exports from Marshall County rising with a projected 120000 pounds this season. Major dealers including Charles Dickey and Comstock and Pratt have bought tens of thousands of pounds, with Albion Battle Creek and local mills processing. Prices range 16 to 30 cents per pound, yielding about $25000 to growers and circulating through the economy. Wool growth remains profitable despite a harsh winter, as farmers balance sheep numbers with rising wheat.
