Yes, turkey supplies are low this year, and the USDA has lowered its production projections for 2024 and 2025:
Fewer birds
The total number of birds and hatchlings is down, which impacts the supply side.
@catlynne333
Now I wonder what the real root cause is there...
@thereg001 good question the desire by the farmer for higher prices?
@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).
