Fewer But Fatter Turkeys This Year Awaiting Descent Of Thanksgiving Ax
The 1934 drought reduced turkey numbers to about 15 million, down from 17.74 million in 1933, but the birds are fatter on average. Production declines are largest in the south central states, Texas and North Dakota down about 33 percent, with regional drops of 9 to 14 percent elsewhere and a small gain in the south Atlantic. Turkeys are increasingly raised west of the Mississippi, with some flocks over 5,000.
