THE POULTRY INDUSTRY ON DELMARVA
With the poultry industry having a large economic impact on our area, the Chamber asked Cathy Bassett, the Director of Public Affairs Director of Allen Harim, to be speaker at the May Membership
Meeting. Read more on the evolution of the poultry industry and its future, written by Cathy.
Chicken is the most consumed meat in the United States, thanks to a few factors. First, it’s low in fat and calories and high in protein, making it a great choice for the health-conscious consumer. Plus it’s packed with the essential nutrients and vitamins that keep us healthy. Second, it’s relatively affordable. It wasn’t always that way, in fact it was once considered a luxury meat. But thanks to competition and innovation, it continues to be an affordable, healthy source of protein.
Chicken consumption surpassed pork in 1985, and beef in 1992. The growth of the chicken industry in the United States is one of the true great success stories in agriculture. In a little over 50 years, the U.S. broiler industry has evolved from a fragmented, mom and pop type operation into a highly efficient, vertically integrated, success story feeding customers around the country and across the globe.
So how did we get here? First a little history. In the 1800s, many people had backyard chicken flocks that supplied eggs, and the occasional Sunday chicken dinner. By the turn of the century, a few entrepreneurs began selling young chicken during the summer for meat as a side business to their farm.
By the 1920s and 30s, chicken meat production, previously just a subsidiary of the egg industry, began with the development of the broiler – a chicken raised specifically for its meat. I should note that the birth of the broiler is largely credited to a woman named Cecile Steele from Ocean View, Delaware. Her husband worked for the Coast Guard in Bethany Beach, and like most good housewives, Cecile raised a few laying hens at home. She would order 50 new chicks a year to replace those that didn’t make it, but in 1923, the hatchery sent her 500 chicks by mistake.
Instead of sending them back, she had a small shed built to house them and 18 weeks later they were 2 ½ pounds and she sold them for 62 cents a pound (at least $5 a pound today) to a local buyer who shipped them to New York. With such a nice profit, the next year Cecile ordered 1,000 chicks and not long after her husband quit his job with the Coast Guard to raise chickens full time. By 1926, she built a broiler house with a capacity to raise 10,000 chickens at a time. News of the Steele’s success traveled fast, and by 1929 there were 500 people growing broilers for meat on Delmarva.
And with that, the broiler industry on Delmarva was born. The Mid-Atlantic offered the best climate, lower labor costs, plenty of available building materials with an abundance of pine trees, an ample supply of grain to feed chicken, and a superior road system to allow trucks to carry the products to big markets nearby including Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia, and New York.
Today there are five poultry companies on Delmarva, and in the order from largest to smallest, they are Tyson Foods, the largest company in the US with headquarters in Springdale, Arkansas, Perdue Foods LLC (#4), based in Salisbury, Mountaire Farms Inc.(#7), based in Millsboro, Amick Farms Inc. (#11) based in Leesville, South Carolina, and Allen Harim (#21), based in Seaford.
Together, on Delmarva these companies produce 4.1 billion pounds of chicken a year. To do that, we use 85.4 million bushels of corn, 35.5 million bushels of soybeans, and 1.7 million bushels of wheat. These companies spent about $997 million on feed costs last year. And together, we paid about $243 million to family farmers to grow our chickens, and about $663 million to our own employees.

Delmarva Power Business Customers: Do You Want to Save Money?
5 Star Plumbing, Heating and Cooling may be relatively new to the Eastern Shore, however Joe Magnolia owned Magnolia’s Plumbing in the Washington D.C. area for decades, carrying on the tradition his dad Joe began with the company. Joe’s plan to work towards retirement included a move to the coastal area to begin a smaller operation with his wife and two sons, and that plan came to fruition four years ago when 5 Star was born. According to Joe’s son Joey, 5 Star is “a family-run operation where his father is involved with every job.” Serving Worcester, Wicomico and Sussex Counties, 5 Star is
currently located in West Ocean City, and plans to establish a second location in the Fenwick Island area next year. Joey finds the Delaware market appealing due to “its year round population, where Ocean City is very seasonal.” 5 Star serves both residential and commercial clients, and hopes to increase its commercial business, including hotels and new construction. Joey views their Bethany-Fenwick Area Chamber of Commerce membership as a great way to really get to know people in the Delaware market. Over time, Joey sees the business growing to 20-30 employees, however he is mindful of building a “crew who can handle the work” to maintain 5 Star’s reputation for excellent quality. As a third generation plumber, Joey intends to carry on the family tradition, and that sounds like a 5 Star Plan!
Attention Delmarva Power business customers: the Chamber is in the process of forming a new energy buying group, and you are eligible to join! This is an exclusive member benefit.What is an energy buying group? An energy buying group, or co-op, is like a volume discount. Ed Jackson of Affinity Energy Management will negotiate a group rate per kilowatt for those who choose to participate, and locks in the most favorable contract, typically a two or three year term. As an example, last year we locked in two buying groups at a rate that was more than 20% less than Delmarva Power’s tariff rates, and are saving these members more than $150,000 in the first year of their contract. Started in 2006, The Bethany-Fenwick Area Chamber of Commerce was the first chamber in Delaware to offer its members an electric buying co-op.How does it work?You supply a copy of all pages (front and back) of your Delmarva Power bill to Ed Jackson by May 15, 2017.

STATE LAWMAKERS PROPOSE EXPANDING DELAWARE’S LODGING TAX TO HELP BRING IN ADDITIONAL STATE REVENUEState Representative Deborah Hudson (R-Fairthorne) and State Senator Gary Simpson (R-Milford) today announced that they will be introducing legislation that could bring in additional revenue for the state on an annual basis.The legislation – House Bill 130 – would apply Delaware’s 8% Public Accommodations or Lodging Tax to short-term vacation rental units (for 120 days or less), including those at campground and bed and breakfast locations.According to the legislature’s Controller General’s Office, revenue estimates as a result of expanding this tax to include all short-term rentals range between $8 million and $11 million annually. The lodging tax is already placed on hotel and motel rental units in Delaware.The legislation calls for the proceeds of the 8% tax to continue to be earmarked in the following manner: 5% to the State General Fund, 1% to the Beach Preservation Program of the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control of the State, 1% annually to established convention and visitors bureaus in each county, and 1% to the Delaware Tourism Office. The distribution of the lodging tax revenue has been in place since 2000 and remains unchanged with HB 130.Rep. Hudson stated, “I am typically the last person to want to impose any kind of tax in Delaware. However, in this case, I think the circumstances are different. This is a tax that is not being collected equally. Hotels and motels pay an 8% lodging tax but no other short-term vacation rental operators contribute. It is time to ensure rentals managed by all business owners (i.e., AIRBNB, VRBO) are paying their fair share.”
