US chicken production and prices have remained low through 2020 compared with 2019 and the 2016-2018 average, according to a University of Arkansas analysis. Broiler processing has stayed at or below 2019 levels since late March.
Lower US broiler output reduces domestic feed grain and soybean meal consumption, which is bearish for feed demand.
