Don't quote this, but...
I think that Donaldson gets the subsidy due to some aged Federal program promoting
the growth of wool (and of course, the sheep that make the raw product).
My naive understanding was that this program had it's roots in WWII/Korean War-era
when the USA did need lots of wool to keep it's soldiers warm.

Don't quote me...that's just what I've heard before and maybe it's urban myth.
