Urges Growing More Turkeys in Farm Poultry Campaign
The USDA promotes turkey production on grain and stock farms with access to range and natural feed. Census data show low turkey numbers per farm, suggesting breeding flocks of 10 to 15 hens and a tom could yield 75 to 150 birds yearly. Prices varied by state, averaging 25 cents per pound nationwide. Farmers’ Bulletin 701, “Turkey Rasing,” outlines breeding and feeding methods and is available free from USDA.
