# Survey: Farmers make changes due to price pressure | WATTAgNet | WATTPoultry.com

> A WATT/Rennier Poultry Confidence Index survey found about half of US chicken producers changed growing programs in Q1 2019 due to depressed chicken prices. Historically low boneless breast meat prices at the end of 2018 pressured the industry. Many other producers are holding their current programs.
