Texas Poultry Dealers Push Lower Turkey Prices In Dallas Meeting
Texas turkey dressers say current prices of 20 cents per pound fail to cover costs given the present quality and rising costs. Texas lines consider a 65 dollar car charge for poultry, eggs, and butter after January 1, and rate hikes on butter and dressed poultry with hearings planned. Delegates from Texas and Chicago discuss market conditions and urge quicker price reductions to 17 or 18 cents per pound to keep turkeys in-state.
