This past winter the northern chapters of MWTHA purchased and distributed 224,000 pounds of shelled corn throughout a large portion of the northern lower peninsula. We are continuing what we are dedicated to, the survival of our Wild Turkey flocks during the severe portion of each winter.
We are confronted with the rapidly rising cost of corn. This past winter our corn costs increased 75 percent from the previous year. Shelled corn was running about $100 for 2,000 pounds in 2005 and increased to about $175 for 2000 pounds in 2006. It is estimated that it will cost over $200 or more this winter. The obvious conclusion is that each chapter will have to tighten their winter program.
