Pennsylvania tests to advance turkey production statewide
A 1956 Pennsylvania program announced by Agriculture Secretary William L. Henning gathers 2,800 turkey eggs from 11 growers at Penn State for incubating and weighing over 28 weeks. The project, a second annual proving ground, involves growers supplying 200 eggs each and includes weight and body measurements, with birds later killed, dressed, weighed, and sold.
