The American Farm Bureau’s annual “Cost of Thanksgiving Survey” is in, and the numbers highlight the impact on farmer costs. However, they do not have the impact you may suspect from the High-Path Avian Flu outbreak.
The annual survey shows this year’s meal will cost five percent less than last year. Turkey will cost an average of $1.68 per pound, a six percent drop from last Thanksgiving.
Most other ingredients saw declines, largely because of market volatility this year. An entire meal for 10 people should be just shy of $60, averaging $5.80 per person.
Despite the decline, the Farm Bureau says Thanksgiving costs are still around 20 percent higher than pre-pandemic levels.
