After a presumptive positive bird flu case was announced in Kent County this past weekend, Delaware Agriculture Week kicked off with the state's poultry industry in the spotlight. The first session focused on avian influenza, putting farmers on high alert as they learned about the virus, its impacts and how to prevent it.
Delaware Agriculture Week began Monday, bringing farmers and agriculture professionals together to connect, learn, and grow. However, this year’s event is missing a key component: the poultry sessions.
Delaware Agriculture Week, an annual event that provides farmers with valuable opportunities to learn and advance in their industry, is set to kick off next week. However, all poultry events have been canceled due to ongoing concerns over Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI).
