To Vote Soon
Wool and lamb producers will vote from Aug. 21 through Sept. 1 in a referendum to decide if they approve or disapprove of a new agreement between the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the American Sheep Producers Council, Inc., (ASPC).
The agreement provides for USDA to withhold part of any wool incentive payments that might be made to producers on 1978-81 marketings to finance ASPC's activities.
Deductions would be used by ASPC to finance advertising and sales promotion programs for w»>ol at>d lamb, and programs to develop and disseminate information on product quality, production management, and marketing improvement for wool and sheep.
The new agreement is similar to one approved in 1974, except that it would authorize larger deductions front producer incentive payments.
