[QUOTE="Nithsdale, post: 6351782, member: 17508"] Well technically it would apply to EVERY wool grower. Quality Swale wool is worth more than the utter shyte as it is right now - just overall it has a far lower value than Cheviot wool... If we are to be serious about saving the world we need to stop using acrylics from the petro-chemical industry. Wool is the greenest renewable fibre we have :cool: If my wool value went up by a modest x4, it would pay about 60% of the annual rent on this farm, that would help a lot (y) If I then took other wools into consideration I could switch breeds and maybe almost pay the rent (that's some thought! - and would turn the UK sheep industry on its head) [/QUOTE]
