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.
