Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza cases are starting to increase with fall migration. Minnesota Turkey Growers Association Executive Director Ashley Kohls remains confident turkey producers have the safety measure in place to prevent a widespread outbreak. “We’ve enjoyed the respite from HPAI, but turkey growers are extra vigilant during migration in the spring and fall.” There shouldn’t be a shortage of turkeys this year. “We are significantly less impacted by HPAI this year than in years past, you should have no problem finding a turkey for Thanksgiving.”
