Wool incentive filing set for 1979 wool and lambs
Producers must submit sales slips from 1979 wool and unshorn lamb marketings and file an application by January 31 to receive incentive payments. Gene Heiple, Jackson County ASC chair, notes shorn wool support is $1.15 per pound and payments for unshorn lambs track similar levels. Shorn wool payments depend on a percentage of producer returns, enough to lift the national average price to the $1.15 goal. 1979 shorn wool averaged 80 to 85 cents per pound.
