encourage growers to improve the quality and marketing of their wool. In any marketing year for which incentive payments are made, the higher the price a grower receives for his wool, the larger his payment.
A PAYMENT rate of $1.09 per hundredweight on unshorn lambs sold or slaughtered in 1975 was also announced by USDA. This payment is designed to compensate growers for the wool they market on live lambs rather than as shorn wool. The payment is based on the shorn wool payment rate, average weight of wool per hundred weight of lambs, and value of lamb’s wool relative to the national average value of shorn wool.
Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service will make the payments to wool producers through its county office. □
