“MANY WOOL PRODUCERS have the idea that the Wool Payment Program is no longer active. However, that’s not true,” said Mary V. Updike, Program Assistant in Charge of the Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS).
“Wool producers may submit their sales documents on wool and unshorn lambs and file an application for payment on 1974 marketings at the county office,” said Mrs. Updike.
Wool payments were not required in 1973, because the national average price received by producers was 82.7 cents per pound, compared to the incentive payment price, 72 cents per pound. Absence of payments during 1973 may have started a rumor that the program has lapsed.
