Method of Shipping Determines Profit in Turkeys
Poultry specialists advise first class birds finished to a high degree for peak prices. Tom weighs 12 pounds or more and hens 10 pounds or more with dry, clean appearance. US stockpiles are up this year but top grade demand remains strong at about 85 cents per pound. Montana extension urges better shipping by using barrels holding 200 to 250 pounds to reduce costs and avoid last year’s losses.

Wheat for Chickens Is Recommended to Farmers
Ohio State University poultry experts say feeding chickens with wheat is more valuable than current market prices. They favor substituting whole wheat for corn in scratch feed and grinding wheat for dry mash, with a new formula of 2 parts wheat to 1 part each cornmeal, ground oats, and meat scrap.
