Poultry Industry Here Is Developing Rapidly in Sumter County
Walter Rylander told Sumter Rotary and Chamber directors that poultry expansion in Sumter is rapid with over 100000 day old chicks bought this spring. He urged county hatcheries, expert supervision, and a community hatchery to meet demand, noting high costs and risk to the industry without skilled guidance and proper culling of non-layers. He described shipping 2 pound fryers to Miami at 45 to 60 cents per pound and called for an expert poultryman to prevent disease and boost profitability.
