The Iowa Poultry Association and Chicken and Egg Association of Minnesota have merged.
Executive director Kevin Stiles says the combined associations will operate as the North Central Poultry Association with headquarters in Urbandale, Iowa.
“The boards thought it made lots of sense (because) our memberships are very similar, there’s a lot of crossover both on the producer side as well as the allied member side between the two states. And of course our issues, our challenges are very similar as well.”
He tells Brownfield those challenges include supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressures.
