The 2011 Maryland Wool Pool took in slightly more wool than last year, by about 1,000 lbs. 23,822 lbs. of wool was received from producers in Maryland, Delaware, and Pennsylvania.
Wool prices are the highest they've been in 20 years and the medium-term outlook for wool remains good. This year's prices are well above the support price for ungraded wool (40 cents/lb), so there are no LDP payments available for this year's wool clip.
