Gonzales Poultry Men Rally Over OPA Rules
Gonzales county chicken raisers form the South Texas Poultrymen's Association to push for price ceilings and wage relief as OPA ceilings on broilers and fryers trigger losses. Leaders claim rising feed costs and labor expenses slash profits, cite Lewis and the national wage campaign as catalysts, and warn many hatcheries may close under current rules.
