SH, "The fact that producers are still raising chickens sure as heck does give insight to profitability. WHY WOULD THEY RAISE CHICKENS IF THEY WEREN'T PROFITABLE????"

You guys can try to BS somebody else.  The fact that people are raising chickens tells NOTHING about profitability.  Are they cash flowing enough to put money away, get their kids thru college, have a few toys, etc.. or are they just getting by to go another year?

Why not try applying your grade school logic to the airline industry?  They're flying planes, sure must be profitable.

Why do companies have to put out financial information?  They're in business, must be profitable.
