Bremer County Extension Director summarizes a shift in U.S. poultry toward specialization and larger operations. ISU economist R E Osterbur reports hens averaged 3 to 6 more eggs annually since 1940 aside from 1942-43, a 46 percent rise, lowering egg prices. Turkeys doubled since 1949 with a 1957 crop expected to set records, and fall prices hinge on turkey storage disposal amid plans to raise more stock.
