One goal I'd like to see sooner vs. later is the recongnition of alpaca farming by the USDA results in a viable commodity. Then the door would be open to their loan programs and new farms can be realized. It's up to us to prove we can make it a commodity.

As you know - Elkhart has been hard hit by the leisure market downturn. Fuel oil and other heating products are pricey (except wood right now) and people should be wearing more natural fibers for warmth that does not depend on petroleum as its base. Further, it is a tragedy that we import so much wool from Australia and New Zealand and can only get pennies per pound for our wool and other animal fibers.

Hi, This is a great opportunity for the US to become successful in another agriculture commodity. Plus, I can't imagine ever NOT having the need for warm clothing. The alpaca industry should almost be a neccesity.

We need to create a quality commercial fiber industry in the United States and this is one of the first steps towards that goal.

I support this effort because I don't want to see the alpaca industry go the way of the mohair industry or the emu/ostrich industry. I believe developing and improving agricultural markets should be one of the Department of Agriculture's main functions.

We need jobs in this country, not retail jobs, but real jobs to support real families. This is important.

We need to get 'back to the future'. Our Texas roots are those of pioneers, textile farmers and producers.

Bring Back the textile industry to the United States. We lost so much of it over the last 1/2 century and now it is time to bring it back along with the jobs.

As fiber producers we need to have a place that is located in the United States of America to process large quantities of alpaca fiber in to fabric, and other products. It is being done in Canada, we can do it here.

American Alpacas produce the highest quality fiber in the world, an the creation of a thriving commercial fiber industry should be our goal from here on out. It is imperative that we as breeders of our outstanding animals move forward with our efforts to build the North American Alpaca Fiber industry!

We need to create and keep skilled jobs in North America. The creation of a textile industry in North America will provide much needed manufacturing jobs in the United States and Canada. They will also provide an outlet for alpaca fiber which is one of the softest and warmest fibers throughout the world.
