Thanksgiving dinner will cost families about 19% more than pre-pandemic times, the Farm Bureau says.

Turkey prices dropped 6% on cooling demand as some consumers opted to add beef and pork to menu.

The price of a turkey, which represents the bulk of the bill, fell even as supplies drop 6% in 2024 partly because of a bird-flu outbreak.

Indiana turkey farmer Greg Gunthorp says his customers appear to have plenty of supply to meet consumer demand.
