Poultry production accounts for $3 billion of Delaware agricultural output

According to a University of Delaware report, Delaware's poultry production accounts for $3 billion of the state's $8 billion-a-year agriculture industry.
The Delaware poultry industry itself employs 13,000 people. The report found that there are fewer farmers in Delaware, but existing farms are getting larger and more productive — the average size of a farm in Delaware is 200 acres.
The report updates facts and figures last collected in the 1980s, said state officials.
