Iowa hens have busy year 1927 poultry report
Preliminary reports from the Iowa Department of Agriculture show that Iowa farms relied on poultry and eggs as a major income source in 1927. Eggs totaled about 170 million dozen, with roughly three quarters shipped out of state to eastern markets, marking a sizable rise from 1926 while prices kept values down. Poultry production reached about 100 million pounds live and dressed, a modest increase but with lower year end values due to price dips. Demand and lower storage of dressed poultry, plus higher egg consumption, suggest 1928 may bring better returns for poultrymen.
