CROYDON, UT—Albert Wilde, a sixth-generation Utah sheep rancher and the visionary behind Wild Valley Farms, has innovated a sustainable solution that leverages waste wool to save water and enhance soil health across agricultural sectors. Recently featured in News Break’s article “Farmers Are Using Wool To Save Water,” Wilde’s use of wool pellets demonstrates a sustainable approach to farming challenges, especially in drought-prone areas.
Observing that wool naturally retains water, Albert Wilde pioneered the use of waste wool — specifically from parts of the fleece that are typically discarded — to develop wool pellets, an organic fertilizer that holds up to 35% of its weight in water.
This breakthrough helps conserve water and enriches the soil with essential nutrients, making it an effective alternative to synthetic fertilizers. His decade-long research and development have led to partnerships with universities and recognition from agricultural and environmental groups seeking sustainable farming solutions. Wool pellets have captured the interest of home gardeners, and organic farmers and are also paving the way for large-scale agricultural practices to become more sustainable.
To learn more about how wool pellets can make a difference in sustainable agriculture, media can reach out to the Wild Valley Farms team. Albert Wilde is available for interviews and to provide insights into the science and benefits of using wool pellets.
