Those 4 million turkeys mean 66 million pounds of white and dark meat - about two million pounds more than last year - and sets a new production record since Moroni Feed began over 50 years ago. Joe C. Nielson, general manager of Moroni Feed says that the oversupply of turkeys will mean that 1988 will not be a profitable year for the Company, although some growers will profit while others will members raised about 20,000 turkeys.

In addition, Moroni Feed will process about 25 million pounds in roasts, steaks, ham, franks and bologna. This further processing is what has made the turkey a year round bird, Nielson said. Prices for the heavies Moroni Feed has sold has been 86 cents a pound, but the returns for the lights not The growers will be participating in a national 3 percent cut nationwide, to bring supply and demand into balance, Nielson said.

The bird seemed to sense that something unusual and wonderful had happened, and he noticed that as the Three Kings departed, the stable fire was dwindling. Only a few coals smoldered as the Holy Family lay sleeping. The small bird swooped down to fan the embers in a brave attempt to revive the dying fire. Flapping his wings valiantly, the small robirf fanned the embers back to life;, and as the flames burned brighter, they singed his breast, scorning his brown feathers a brilliant red. The robin continued fanning the fire through the night keeping the child warm.
