Somehow the days seem to be getting busier (and feeling shorter after the recent time change), so this week we’re keeping our update short with holiday reminders and technical resources for poultry producers. We’ve also been seeing a lot of folks continue to be impacted by severe weather so keeping you all in our thoughts. Let us know what you need and thank each and every one of you for all you do for your farms, your families and your communities.

REMINDER: AGW-Certified Producers, Send us Your Seasonal Specials
Our Marketing team is hard at work pulling together promotional social media posts to spread the word about your holiday specials. Do you have any upcoming promotions like holiday markets, gift baskets, bundles, special orders, coupons, promo codes, etc.? Let us know so we can help spread the word.
