Indiana turkey growers are seeing better farm-level returns in 2026 after two years of disease-driven flock losses, supported by stronger wholesale prices, solid domestic demand and rising exports. An American Farm Bureau Federation analysis warns that this rebound could be followed by a price-cost squeeze in 2027 unless producers lock in feed costs.
USDA estimates the national turkey flock at 198.5 million birds in 2026, up about 3%.
A growing turkey flock raises demand for corn and soybean meal feed, and tighter 2027 margins could slow expansion, modestly easing feed demand later.
