Future of Broiler Industry In
Delaware VIII Depend
Upon Markets
A very important meeting was
held recently at Salisbury, to dis
cuss the future of cooperative poul-
try dressing plants. Representa-
tives of farm organizations and
farm leaders attended the meeting.
1t was generally agreed that the
broiler industry could not afford to
let the dressing plants go out of
existence and that all organiza-
tions would support the coopera-
tive dressing plants.
1t was pointed out that the CO.
operative dressing plants were as
efficient as other plants in the
area, had access to good markets
and could return a fair price to
the members.
The success of the cooperative
project will depend upon members
supplying sufficient quantity for
efficient operation. 1t is probable
that at times members of the CO.
operative will be offered higher
prices by other buyers for GER
tain pen of birds or when needed
badly for a particular market. 1t
must be kept in mind that cooper
atives do not offer spectacular
prices at any one time but over a
given period will return to the
member a fair price.
Cooperative dressing plants have
proven in many areas that where
they operate higher price is paid
by all buyers in the area.
