I heard a rumor a couple of weeks ago that UT Martin had published a study that established a link between the spread of chicken litter and infertility in hen turkeys. The research was done in Southern TN. You gotta be a biologist to read such studies, but I thought I had a way to get to read it. Instead, I was told recently that they pulled the study due to pressure from the poultry industry.

I wouldn't expect any of the biologists that work for a state agency to be able to comment on this, but do we have any private sector guys that can talk about it?

I'm starting to think I might oughta drop this if I wanta live to see another turkey season.
