Hey guys – I wrote this post below for Agriculture.com (I’m a #WomenInAg blogger) but I wanted to make sure I shared it here because I think it’s got some great basic information about turkeys.

It’s been too long since I’ve written about turkeys. Blame it on a busy schedule, vacation days, summer … although if I’m completely honest with you, I’ve been a little burned out writing about agriculture.

Yes, it’s true there was a terrible outbreak of avian flu that caused the death of millions of turkeys, especially in Minnesota – the […] Read more…
Subway clarified its antibiotics in meat policy on Friday, in case you haven’t heard. I’m glad for that because Subway is an important market for poultry – and certainly for turkey deli meat specifically. According to Feedstuffs magazine, here is the clarification: On its website, the company said the goal is to reduce and eliminate the […] Read more…
I’m struggling a bit to gauge my reactions to the Subway announcement this week that essentially toughened the chain’s stance on antibiotic use in food animals. Starting in 2016, Subway will only serve meat never treated with antibiotics. And as Watt Poultry noted here, this comes a month or so after the chain got a failing grade […] Read more…
