COOPERATIVE EXTENSION
HORTICULTURE
The average age of Delaware farmers surpasses 54 years. New
generations of youth must be engaged in aspects of the
poultry industry if the profession is to continue to grow
and remain viable within Delaware.
Additionally, small poultry producers require
research-based information to maintain environmentally safe
operations. Cooperative Extension conducts educational
programs for Delaware students on embryology, and poultry
care and handling. Fact sheets are produced and workshops
are held to keep small poultry farmers abreast of new
production and disease prevention techniques.
