GEORGIA SECOND
IN NATION IN
BROILERS GROWN
Georgia jumped from fourth to
second place in the nation in broil
er production during 1944.
Georgia produced 24,000,000
broilers in 1944 which is 41 per cent
above the 17.000,000 raised in 1943
when the state ranked fourth in the
nation. Delaware took top place in
the country.
Income from broiler production ir
Georgia reached an all-time high m
1944, the poultryman reported,
amounting to $19,116,000 compared
with $12,198,000 in 1943 and $5,152,-
000 in 1942.
Cherokee, Forsyth and Hall are
the main • commercial broiler pro
ducing counties with Dawson, Jack
son, Lumpkin, White, Habersham
and other adjoining counties show
ing substantial gains.
The broiler industry in north Geor
gia is located generally on small
farm units and utilizes labor on
these farms. These factors will fa
vor this section as a broiler produc
ing area in postwar years. The
dressing plants located within the
area are striving to improve the
quality of poultry meat shipped
from their plants in order to com
pete with other sections in the post
war period.
At present poultry meat from the
seven main broiler producing coun
ties is going to the armed forces.
Eighty per cent of the meat from
the broiler belt is going to cur
boys overseas.
