Earl Galouch spreads hay for his flock of turkeys on Tuesday. The 10 birds were brought to his Farmington home as little “peeps” in July, he said. It’s a lot of work to grow them, but they become like pets, he said. This is the second year he has raised turkeys. With the cost of game feed and effort, he estimates the turkey meat costs him $4 a pound. A local grocery store is selling them for 59 cents a pound this week, he said. The birds have until Sunday, when they’ll be taken to the Mercer turkey farm for processing.
