United States Department of Agriculture and state colleges funded a program that saved about $40,000 for Texas poultrymen last year through culling. Maine saw roughly $1,804.40 saved in 14 counties. Demonstrations led to thousands of hens culled and improved remaining flock production, with Maine reporting 82.8 percent egg output before culling, 40.7 percent after, and culls at 4.5 percent. Extension agents trained poultry owners who then culled their flocks, spreading practical methods widely.
