蒙大拿州启动羊毛厂研究, 处理当地羊毛,减少运输, 促进国内织品生产. Montana launches wool mill study to process local wool, reduce shipping, and boost domestic textile production.

蒙大拿正在着手进行一项可行性研究,由35 000美元赠款资助,对一家当地羊毛加工厂进行可行性研究,以评估建造一个工业设施(可能位于大瀑布),将原始羊毛加工成梳子。 Montana is moving forward with a feasibility study for a local wool processing mill, funded by a $35,000 grant, to assess building an industrial facility—potentially in Great Falls—to process raw wool into combed top. 这项研究由Western Wool Growers联盟牵头,将评价经济、环境和后勤因素,包括水的再利用、拉诺林恢复和基础设施需要。 The study, led by the Western Wool Growers Alliance, will evaluate economic, environmental, and logistical factors, including water reuse, lanolin recovery, and infrastructure needs. 目前,蒙大拿大部分羊毛通常含有40%的杂质,被运出州外,成本不断增加,效率低下。 Currently, much of Montana’s wool, often containing up to 40% impurities, is shipped out of state, increasing costs and inefficiencies. 该项目旨在缩短供应链、减轻货运负担和支持国内纺织制造业。 The project aims to shorten supply chains, reduce freight burdens, and support domestic textile manufacturing. 蒙大拿州立大学一个新的伍尔研究实验室于2026年启用,将通过遗传学提高纤维质量,补充这项努力。 A new Wool Research Lab at Montana State University, opening in 2026, will complement the effort by advancing fiber quality through genetics. 预计这项研究将于2027年完成。 The study is expected to conclude in 2027.
