Texas Wool Crisis Predicted By San Antonio Operator
A Kerrville area wool grower now en route to Boston warns that the Texas wool crop ready for market is piling at shipping points and stored in warehouses. He says the free wool bill passing the House will soon reach the Senate and become law, with wool values tied to Washington policy and imports of manufactured woolens. He contrasts mohair tariffs at 20 percent as favorable and argues removing the wool tariff harms US sheep farming, predicting mass slaughter and long recovery if tariffs are restored.
