Deductions are authorized at rates up to 1 1/2 cents a pound on shorn wool and 7 1/2 a hundredweight on unshorn lambs. These are the rates at which payment deductions have been made for the past 8 years.
The Council’s expenditures for wool and lamb promotion during the year ended June 30, 1974, were about $2.2 million and its budget for the current year is $1.6 million.
The Council’s wool promotion is on a national basis in cooperation with other segments of the industry which provide additional or matching funds. Lamb promotion now is concentrated in high lamb-consuming areas. In Virginia, 1,411 producers cast ballots with 1,200 for the promotional program for an 85% yes vote.D
