Farm Fund Voted to Replace Wool Loan Program
Administration approved the farm fund plan after Senate Agriculture Committee backing. Western wool producers oppose it according to Sen. Welker. Domestic producers would sell wool in the market and receive incentive payments to cover gaps below set support levels. Payments totaling 40 to 55 million dollars yearly would come from wool imports. About a third of U S wool is domestic. the rest is imported. Most domestic wool already goes to government warehouses under the loan program. Proponents say the new system would cost less and spur domestic production.
