Broilers Pay Off
For NC Poultrymen
A record-breaking year has just
ended in North Carolina broiler
production. In 1958, the state’s
broiler income jumped to $77.9
million or $18.9 million more than
in 1957.
North Carolina, which was fifth
in broiler production in 1967, is
■ow the second largest broiler pro
ducer in the nation. Georgia is
first.
While total production was up
In 1958, prices per pound were
down. They only averaged 17.6
cents per pound.
This is in sharp contrast to 10
years ago when prices averaged

34.7 cents. However, in 1948 the
state’s total broiler income was
$18.4 million, or nearjy $60 million
less than 1958.
“I realize that profits on individ
ual broilers may not be as high as
they were in 1948,” said Clayton P.
Libeau, poultry and egg marketing
specialist for the N. C. Agricultural
Extension Service.
“However, when we consider
money as a medium of exchange,
rather than as a store of value,
there are a lot of people who are
benefitting from "the state’s prog
ress in broiler production.”
The first to benefit is the house
wife, Libeau said, for she can now
buy broilers as cheaply as she
could 20 years ago.
Then there are the bankers, Li
beau added, who are seeing their
deposits and loans climb as the
result of this increased ecbnomic
activity.
The broiler industry is providing
new employment for farm fami
lies. New jobs are also being creat
ed by farm firms, hatcheries, proc
essing plan^, trucking agencies
and equipment companies.
That’s not all, Libeau continued.
Even sawmill operators are find
ing a market for the shavings they
used to throw away. Carpenters are
finding a new demand for broiler
houses, and hardware stores are
finding new-markets for hammers,
saws and nails.
Grain producers and millers are
also benefitting frcpn the growing
broiler business, because they are
finding a ready market for their
products and services.
There are even long-range ad
vantages to be gained from the
state’s thriving broiler business,
Libeau pointed out.
The manure from the chicken
houses can increase the fertility of
North C^olina soil.
“So you see,^’ Libeau con
“It is opt just ini^rd^-
whiclf “ciaipt. It ii^Pcreasei^
;fy which provides income and
ployment for many people.”
The efficiency of prayer is in
creased by the amount of hustle
there is back of it.
