Now I wonder what the real root cause is there...
@catlynne333
Maybe. You cannot blame a farmer for wanting more profit.
No one deserves a paltry living or bank account just because you're in the poultry biz. (Tyson and Purdue excluded).
@thereg001 i agree i dont blame them one bit wont be able to affford to eat turkey thursday though I am having cornish game hen
@catlynne333
Just throw some decent gravy over it and you'll still have a great meal. :)
@thereg001 will do ๐ ๐
@thereg001 good question the desire by the farmer for higher prices?
