Delegates To Be Elected when Dennis Ramsey, of Rose Hill, became sold on the broiler produc tion business as a means of diversi fying agricultural income in Duplin County, Although he received very little encouragement foe his idea of mass production of broilers, Ram sey began his program and put ideas into action. Today, there are several large broiler producing operations in. Dup lin County. Most of the production is under contract between farmers and feed dealers. The agreements have proved satisfactory; therefore, the broiler production program has increased from a meager beginning to North Carolina's leading broiler producing county. Duplin County is also a big turkey producing area. Nash Johnson has pushed this end of the business for years. It is estimated that approx imately 600,000 turkeys are pro duced annually in Duplin. This is the reason that a turkey processing line will eventually be set-up in the Processing Plant, at Rose Hill. The completion of the processing plant at Rose Hill and its going into operation marks the realization of a complete poultry program in Dup fin County, from the egg to the pro cessed broiler or turkey.
