Unlike many industries on the
Delmarva Peninsula, the poultry
industry remained strong in 1993.
Close to 21,000 persons were
directly employed in the industry,
while thousands of others had jobs
because of the poultry industry’s
presence. These 21,000 people
earned more than $368 million, a
tremendous amount of money in a
small area such as Delmarva.
The poultry industry creates a
built-in market for grain and soy
bean farmers on Delmarva. Most
of the com, soybeans, and sorg
hum raised by local farmers is
used by the poultry industry. In

grain from other areas to meet the
poultry industry’s growing needs.
The DPI 1993 figures show that
22.5 million bushels of soybeans,
65.3 million bushels of com, and
1.59 million bushels of sorghum,
with a farm value of $290 million
were used for poultry feed.
Processed and ready for market,
the 573.4 million broiler chickens
were valued at $1,264 billion.
‘These figures clearly demons
trate the tremendous impact of the
poultry industry on the economy
of Delmarva," said DPI President
Walter W. Moorhead. “Our indus

benefits everyone on Delmarva.
