Wool Producers To
Have Sales Papers
Wool producers were reminded today they should bring sales documents for shorn wool and unshorn lambs to the Rappahannock Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service Office to earn incentive payments for the 1969 Marketings. Sales of both wool and unshorn lambs may be included in a single application for payment, according to H.S. Barksdale, Chairman of the Rappahannock ASC Committee.
Producers also were reminded that purchases of all unshorn lambs, including the lambs in ewe-lamb pairs, must be reported: when application is filed for wool incentive payment. Mr. Barksdale said wool producers occasionally overlook reporting purchases of replacement stock, but the ASCS County Office must have an accurate record of purchases as well as sales of unshorn lambs.
Wool delivery expenses not shown in the sales documents should be reported when producers apply for incentive payments.
The ASC Committee Chairman pointed out that under the National Wool Act all producers who market wool and mohair in 1969 are eligible for incentive payments.
Shorn wool payments to a producer are equal to a percentage of his returns from sales. The percentage is that required to raise the national average price received for shorn wool by all producers up to 69 cents a pound. Mohair payments are determined in a similar manner, with the national incentive price set at 77.4 cents a pound.
