Poultry is domestic fowl, such as chickens, turkeys,
ducks, ostriches, emus, quail, pigeons, pheasants,
or geese, raised for meat or eggs. The most common
poultry in Arkansas are chickens and
turkeys. Arkansas has 5,000 chicken
farms, as well as 300 turkey farms.
Chickens raised for their meat are called
broilers, and chickens that are raised
for their eggs are called laying hens. In
2006 Arkansas farmers raised 1.23 billion
broilers, 20.2 million laying hens, and
30 million turkeys.

Ag Mag—can you fi nd a dozen?
Have you ever wondered
why we decorate eggs? Painted,
edible eggs were given to a Chi-
nese chieftain in 722 BC to celebrate
Spring. In the 13th century, eggs with
intricate religious symbols were common.
Moravian and Ukrainian eggs are treasured
for their geometric designs. They are often
dyed with natural elements such as onion
skins, walnuts, wild grapes, and berries. The
most famous egg decorator is probably Peter
Carl FabergII. He decorated eggs using crystal,
gold, and other precious materials from 1884
to 1916. His beautiful eggs were used by czars
as gifts to royalty.

Where Does All That Corn Go?
Arkansas farmers rank 20th in the country in corn production.
In 2007, we planted 590,000 acres of fi eld corn, which pro-
duced more than 99 million bushels of little golden kernels.
If one bushel of corn weighs 56 pounds, that means Arkansas
farmers hauled over 5.5 billion pounds of corn out of their
fi elds! That is more corn than we have ever produced! Most
of the corn grown in Arkansas is used to feed the poultry, cat-
tle, and other livestock in the state.Where does it all go? Field corn is not the type of corn you
eat on the cob or with your dinner. It is a special type of corn
that has a hard outer shell and is full of starch. So, what do
we do with it? Field corn is processed to make products you use every day.
Processing means changing fi eld corn into diff erent usable
products through a series of events. The corn is soaked and
milled (ground) so that the germ oil, starch, gluten and hulls
can be separated. These items are then made into cornstarch,
cooking oil, sweeteners, high fructose corn syrup, cereal, bev-
erages and fuel. And that’s just the beginning!
The 2008 Chevy Impala LTZ
can use E-85, an 85% Ethanol blend.
How are these two cars the same? Both can run on ethanol
blend fuels. Want to know more about this high performance
fuel? Read on to see how Arkansas Corn is involved!
The IndyCar Series uses 100 % ethanol.
