Thats a measure of how near the Sanpete Valley growers are to d achieving a major goal what was of once production a holiday bird but now has become a item on the American year-roun- menu. The first poults of the 1986 crop go to the brooder coops in December and be ready for market by April. And when the last of the 1985 crop has gone to the processing plant next month, Moroni Feed will the harvest of have completed a around 2.800,000 turkeys s 100 record number for the will Co-op- members. In assessing the 1985 season, Joe Nielsen, general manager of Moroni Feed, said that in contrast to most segments industry of agriculture, the turkey is having a good year. And by a good year he means that most Moroni Feed growers will realize more than enough to meet their bills, make the payments on their loa..s and earn eating money. Theyll extend their equities in what has, over half a century, become a major Sanpete Valley enterprise. This years 2,800,000 crop of the white birds can be translated into around 48,000,000 pounds of meat that is more and more finding acceptance in the American market, Mr. Nielsen said. About 60 percent of this years production will go to the market as whole bodies, he said, and the other 40 percent as parts turkey weiners, hams, baloney, smoked turkey, breasts, etc. Packaged breasts, which go mainly to Eastern markets, arc the most popular item in the "parts category, Mr. Nielsen explained. The American shopper can now go to the meat counter almost any time during the year and select a package of turkey parts as a conven Administration Hospital in Long Beach, Calif.

And 1985 could be even better, Mr Nielsen said, because the prices Moroni members Feeds are about the same as last production costs are down around seven or eight percent receiving are year while ience item, he observed. due to lower feed grain costs. Of the 60 percent that go to the market as whole bodies, Mr. Nielsen explained, most are processed in the consumer sizes, under 24 pounds, for the home trade, and the rest are finished off at 24 pounds and up, the commercial size, for the hotel and restaurant market. One grower said his feed costs would be even lower if railroad transportation were still available. The loss of the railroad is costing me around one to two cents more per pound of turkey I produce, he cl umed There are several reasons for the expanding demand for turkey products, Mr. Nielsen thinks. One, of course, is advertising, but are the advertising underlying several basic reasons. One is the comparatively low price of turkey meat, as compared to the red meats, and the other is the recommendation of health organizations that the public use more fish and poultry in its diet.
