Turkey On The Thanksgiving Menu By Larry Sturgill
Turkey will again be the centerpiece of Thanksgiving feasts across the country. Wilford Hatchery in Elyria plans to contribute 4,000 birds from its Route 20 farm east of Wakeman, part of a 22,000-turkey operation on 165 acres. Turkeys arrive from the hatchery in July, reach full size by Thanksgiving, and may be used as breeders after state lab checks for diseases. Prices run about 59 cents per pound, with no difference between white and black birds.
