Since Fall of 2022, only five of the 600+ farms that we work with have been impacted by Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI). The most recent case happened on a single farm in April 2024. Whenever one of our farms is impacted, we work with the farmer to follow best practices and regulatory guidance, and we help that farmer get their operation back up and running when it’s safe to do so. Throughout the year, our farmers may house their birds inside the barn in line with guidance from state regulators to help protect them from contracting HPAI.
