National Turkey Federation presses for protection against HPAI in the next Farm Bill

This year’s High Pathogenic Avian Influenza outbreak is now the deadliest in U.S. history, having broken the 2015 record.

The National Turkey Federation says the virus is a top concern heading into the new year, and they want to ensure producers have protection in the next Farm Bill.

Beth Breeding spoke with RFD-TV’s own Suzanne Alexander about the stunning number of losses, if she was surprised by the record-breaking numbers, and what they would like to see from the federal government.
