quality, production management and marketing improvement for wool and sheep.
Wool and lamb producers will be mailed an explanatory statement about the proposed new agreement along with the ballot. The new agreement is similar to one approved by producers in 1971. If approval is voted, payment deductions of up to 1-1/2 cents a pound on shorn wool and 7-1/2 cents a hundredweight on unshorn lambs would be made, the same as the maximum deduction rates for the 1966-72 period. Since no wool payments were made for 1973 marketings, thee were no deductions for that year.
