Most poultry producers are guaranteed to grow (when I was in the business) 95% of their quota and if the demand goes up they have a secondary quota, they can produce another 5-10% of their quota and it is easy for them to do, because there are so many family farms, it is not tied to just a few producers and plants. The producers have already built their barns to handle the additional requirements and it is spread across the country. We do not rely on other countries nor do we produce a lot for other countries, it is all about domestic supply, except for a small portion.
