Demographics: U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts
Headline: MinnPost, 11/21/2022
From MinnPost:
Minnesota is also home to one of the largest turkey hatcheries in the world. In 1945, farmers Albert Huisinga, Albin Norling, and Herman Nelson started Willmar Poultry and Egg Company to process their own birds and produce turkey poults (baby turkeys) for local growers. The company acquired hatcheries in other states and merged with AgForte in 2009. The company merged with Aviagen in 2017 to become Select Genetics, with the capacity to produce 48 percent of U.S. turkey poults. It produces 137 million poults a year.
'Migrant'. "Immigrant'. 'Workforce'. None of these words appears in the article.
Guess all those turkeys just take care of themselves.
