Wool pellets offer sustainable farming solution
Albert Wilde, a sixth-generation Utah sheep rancher, has developed a sustainable agricultural solution using waste wool. His innovation, wool pellets, helps conserve water and improve soil health. By utilizing parts of the fleece typically discarded, Wilde’s pellets hold up to 35% of their weight in water, making them especially valuable in drought-prone areas.
After a decade of research, Wilde’s wool pellets have gained attention from universities, agricultural groups, and environmental organizations. They provide an organic alternative to synthetic fertilizers and enrich soil with essential nutrients. Wilde’s method has captured the interest of organic farmers and home gardeners and shows promise for larger-scale agricultural applications.
“We’re seeing a real shift toward more sustainable practices, and wool pellets are part of that movement,” said Albert Wilde, founder of Wild Valley Farms.
Wilde continues to promote wool pellets as a viable solution for the future of farming, offering a sustainable option for growers across the agricultural sector.
