NORTH CAROLINA POULTRY MONTH
OBSERVED IN IREDELL COUNTY
North Carolina's poultry food industry represents the largest agricultural commodity of farm
income, exceeding one billion dollars in cash receipts for farm families.
North Carolina is also the most diversified poultry producing state in the nation, ranking
first in turkey production, second in duckling production, fourth in commercial broiler production,
and eighth in egg production.
The poultry food industry employs thousands of our citizens and contributes significantly to
the earned income of our farm workers. In this way, it not only bolsters our state economy but
provides a nutritious, wholesome food to North Carolina families, and supplies markets worldwide.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Iredell County Board of Commissioners joins with The Honorable James G.
Martin, Governor of the State of North Carolina, in proclaiming April 1989 as Iredell County Poultry
Month, and urges our citizens to recognize the importance of the poultry food industry in our state
and county and to enjoy the taste and variety of poultry products.
