> And farmers can always lose money on a bad batch of birds. > "A disaster flock I call them," says OCM President Mike Weaver, who raises poultry on contract in West Virginia.

The feed and the chicks, they don't have control over, but their pay is going to be based on those." Wouldn't some sort of insurance be useful here?
