Tommy Yates raises sheep in addition to owns a wool processing manufacturing works life inwards Minnesota.  Until coming together in addition to speaking alongside him, I never understood the importance of supporting domestic wool producers.

Most of our wool vesture is made from wool grown in addition to processed inwards New Zealand in addition to manufactured inwards Asia.  The transportation of materials in addition to finished products makes the carbon footprint something that should live on of concern.  Supporting unusual economies versus our ain is also a big concern.
