Poultry Industry Shifts Toward Specialization in 1957
Poultry on farms is less popular as flocks grow harder to keep profitable. PF Dench reports to the county council that early 1957 marketings were 47 percent higher than 1934, while a local hatchery saw baby chick sales down 50 percent from last year. Egg prices may be less favorable early 1957, with year end expected to mirror 1956. Broiler and turkey sectors push efficient feeding and marketing, remaining the main sources of poultry meat.
