# Higher chicken prices supportive of beef and pork prices - Brownfield Ag News

> University of Missouri analyst Scott Brown says chicken breast prices are at their highest in two years and chicken wing prices are above $2 per pound, the highest since 2015. Chicken production is flat in 2017 and beef is leading meat production growth instead of poultry. Brown expects beef and pork prices to stay supported.
