Poultry Prices and Market Outlook From Frank Priebe
The chief concern is the price paid for the crop. Spring chickens sold last week brought about a cent less than a year ago and old hens 1 to 2 cents lower. Turkeys in storage total 11,000,000 pounds, twice last year, with fresh arrivals dragging prices down. Demand remains strong as consumption stays high, and export potential could balance the market.
