Delmarva sets record broiler chick placement
ANNAPOLIS, Md. A new all
time record placement of
10,100,000 chicks was set by the
Delmarva broiler industry during
the week ending March 31.
It’s the first time Delmarva had
ever set a placement week of 10
million birds. Leading up to this
major milestone was an all time
eggset week three weeks earlier on
Delmarva totaling some 12,167,000
eggs.
"I commend the entire
Delmarva poultry industry on this
achievement,” noted Maryland
Secretary of Agriculture Wayne A.
Cawley Jr. when informed of the
figures by the Maryland-Delaware
Crop Reporting Service.
Cawley then noted the effect of
this one week’s placement of
chickens on other sectors of
agriculture.
“At present Delmarva rates, the
placement of this many broiler
chicks mean that they will come in
at a total hveweight of about
41,410,000 pounds (4.1 pounds per
chicken), when processed they will
dress out to about 30,300,000 pounds
of ready-to-cook value-packed
n icat (3 pounds per bird).
"Chickens are the nation’s most
efficient converters of grain
protein into meat protein. To grow

out this one week’s flock of
chickens immense quantities of
corn and soybeans will be needed.
' Each bird will eat about 8
pounds of grain-based formulated
ration over it’s grow out period, so
we are talking about a gram need
of 80,800,000 pounds!
"Each bird will eat about 6
pounds of corn so that’s 60,600,000
pounds or 1,082,142 bushels (at 56
pounds to a bushel of corn). At our
usual 100-bushel acre production
average in Maryland, it means you
have used the production from
10,821 acres.

America’s No.l Best Seller.
AGRIPRO™ AP-350
Tests prove it outyields Williams and Mitchell.
AP-350 is a welcome addition to group IV maturity.
It was selected because it combines overall yield
performance superiority with an excellent chlorosis
rating plus resistance to Race I Phytophthora root rot
and tolerance to other tested races. Plus good
emergency, too. For its maturity, it would be difficult
to find a better bean.
NEW AGRIPRO™ AP-330
Excellent shattering resistance, top yield potential.
Bred for good lodging resistance, good field resis
tance to phytophthora root rot. In Agripro yield trials
across the midwest AP-330 shelled out impressive
yields.
AGRIPRO AP-250
Popular Group 111 High yielding soybean variety.
Same maturity zone as Amsoy 71, Beeson, and
Woodworth, and in five years of yield trials it has
consistently outyielded these popular varieties. In
addition to big yields, AP-250 gives you good

root rot and good resistance to lodg

flock this means 20,200,000 pounds
of soy products, or at 60 pounds per
bushel for soybeans, a total of
336,666 bushels. At our 29 bushel
per acre normal soybean yield,
that's some 11,609 acres worth of
beans.
■ All told, this one week’s flock
may account for 22,430 acres of
gram production.
"Thousands of man-hours will be
spent tending the chickens,
transporting, processing and
marketing them. Demand will be
created for cartons, wrapping
trays and other packaging
materials, so you can see why the
Delmarva poultry industry is so
important to agriculture in
