Ontario farmers are urging consumers to keep buying turkey, even after the holiday season. "Profits in turkey farming were definitely down 30 per cent last year," said Brian Ricker, a spokesperson for Turkey Farmers of Ontario. The industry is one of many seeing a direct fallout from both the pandemic and climate change. Ricker said farmers moved to cut 10 per cent of price costs for processors to help them get through the year. Turkey farmers are cautious when it comes to estimating next year's growth.
