 Comparative Accuracy of Two Methods of Pricing TurkeysEarl H. Rinear No 311200, Marketing Research Reports from United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Marketing Service, Transportation and Marketing Program Abstract: Excerpts from the report Introduction: The effectiveness with which a pricing system operates in actual practice can be of major importance in the marketing of turkeys. Questions have been raised concerning a relatively new method of buying and selling turkeys. More specifically, both turkey growers and turkey processors have been concerned with the comparative accuracy and equity of pricing turkeys on the live basis and on the ready-to-cook basis. Both groups are interested in a pricing method that will improve their industry and give them fair returns. Although turkeys have been purchased from growers in several major producing areas on a ready-to-cook grade and yield basis for a number of years, definite information on the comparative accuracy and equity of this pricing method has not hitherto been available. Therefore, this study was conducted in Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Virginia in 1957 and 1958 to obtain such information.
