Woodpecker Farm
3557 Woodpecker Rd., Seaford, DE 19973
******CANCELLED******
The Poultry Grower’s Field Day has been cancelled due to the ongoing issues and concerns associated with infection, eradication and control of High Path Avian Influenza in the Upper Midwest.
While these infections don’t have a direct threat to the Delmarva Broiler Industry, the association with wildlife can threaten our region. The source of infection is primarily linked to migratory waterfowl and HPAI breaks have occurred along 3 of the 4 primary flyways in the U.S.
For more information about HPAI see the website links below. There will also be an educational series of off-farm meetings planned to help you keep your farm disease free. These are planned for late May, early June. You are encouraged to attend one of these seminars.
