Agricultural night speaker outlines chicken and turkey market
Ross Cameron of the Department of Agriculture addressed Lac du Bonnet Chamber of Commerce members and local farmers at Memorial Hall on January 6. He forecast a potential market for broilers and turkeys tied to the Lakeview Turkeys Limited processing plant under construction. He urged farmers to raise birds to offset declining income, warned that broiler and turkey farming is not for novices, and advised gauging market demand before expanding. He noted future needs for a hatchery and local grain use could reduce costs, and a plant operating film sparked interest. The session ended with a Q&A and refreshments.
