South Dakota farmers raise approximately 5 million turkeys per year. That’s enough to give nearly six turkeys to every person in South Dakota.
Did you know that turkeys like to eat local, too? They are fed a nutritious diet packed with protein from South Dakota soybeans. South Dakota soybean farmers are proud of the fact that they provide the number one source of protein for the poultry that provide the great food we all enjoy. Most turkey farmers work with an animal nutritionist who prescribes a healthy diet for their animals. Nutritionists love soybean meal for its protein, but also because it includes essential amino acids. Those healthy animals make for a healthy, protein-packed meal for your Thanksgiving dinner.
