This week', supplies will still be about 5 per cent above’ last year and storage about 15 per “cent below last year,, with demand generally strong, but a bit uncertain after the hojiday. 1 ~r
Processors' ’ will be back on broilers^ this week after the rush of turkeys. In past years, this has sometimes/brought a little rise in the market the week after Thanksgiving, sometimes not.
