From a $1 million post-storm donation by Mountaire Farms supporting @SamaritansPurse to a @PerdueFarms donation of 66,000 meals for food banks, there are many ways chicken companies with a Delmarva presence are helping those affected by the Helene and Milton hurricanes.

A "singular metric" of antimicrobial stewardship "doesn’t even capture where we spend the majority of our time, talent and treasure." Dr. Michelle Kromm from Food Forward is igniting the 59th National Meeting on Poultry Health, Processing, and Live Production today. #dcachicken

During #NationalChickenMonth, we're sharing many the Delmarva's vibrant chicken community creates jobs, feeds families and protects the environment. When we say chicken growers put sustainability front and center... what do we mean, exactly? @ChickenRoost https://t.co/wsi1uC3UGa

Thanks to Del. Regina Boyce, Vice Chair of the House Environment and Transportation Committee; Del. Delegate Natalie Ziegler, also a member of the Committee; and many other lawmakers who came to the occasion!

We nominated Linda and John Brown of L & J Farm in Harrington for a @USPOULTRY1947 Family Farm Environmental Excellence Award. And... they won, as the top state association nominee! They celebrated at @IPPEexpo in Atlanta with DCA's Holly Porter. Congrats, John and Linda!

[Delmarva Chicken Association @dcachicken]

Holly here, in Atlanta for the International Production & Processing Expo along with, seems like, half the world's chicken community! I was glad to see Delmarva's broiler-birthplace history represented at the show, and I'm taking in everything I can on the expo floor.

[Delmarva Chicken Association @dcachicken]

There's no farm like a snow farm. Sure, it's a cold, wet day for Delmarva's chicken growers, but the chickens don't even know it's snowing in their well-heated houses. And growers will work all day and into the night making sure their equipment is in good shape.

[Delmarva Chicken Association @dcachicken]

You can always count on DCA members to be out in front on legislative issues, illuminating how chicken goes from farm to shelf to table. Today, DCA member Mary Lou Brown (center right) testified at an ag briefing for the House Environment and Transportation Committee.

[Delmarva Chicken Association @dcachicken]

Being in the rooms and hearings where policy shifts happen is how DCA advocates for our members in state legislatures. Government affairs manager Grayson Middleton is doing just that as lawmakers convene in Annapolis, Dover and Richmond so the #chickencommunity is represented.
