The price tag of Thanksgiving will be up in 2021.
\\nRecent US Bureau of Labor Statistics said that food prices at home are up 5.4% over the past 12 months.
\\nWith inflation still a concern for Americans, putting that turkey on the table next week will not look the same as it has in recent years.
\\nProducers and processors were already dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic throughout the year, but fighting through this inflation is another challenge around the November holiday.
\\nOn this week\\u2019s MEAT+POULTRY podcast, Beth Breeding, vice president of communications and marketing for the National Turkey Federation, discusses turkey production trends.
\\nBreeding describes how turkey farmers and producers tried to navigate the amount of turkey consumers were consuming during this COVID year and whether this is just a blip or the new normal.
\\nShe also explains what the turkey industry faced during COVID-19 and how it\\u2019s adapted over 2020 and 2021.
