Wool incentive payments set at 16.5 percent for 1964
Bremer County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee announced shorn wool payments for the 1964 marketing year amount 16.5 percent of the dollar value received from wool sales during January to December 1964. The rate is designed to raise the national average wool price to 22 cents per pound, yielding $16.50 per $100 of marketings. Live lambs unshorn receive a payment to offset wool costs, with a lower rate. The act, first authorized in 1954, supports wool production through 1965 and may be extended. County payments will begin airing within days.
