I'm talking 42 cents / lb., that I can remember, to a whopping $1.48 / lb. at today's prices. The massive efficiencies that have been achieved by today's modern chicken grower operations, and the economies of scale created by mass production, have not been passed on to the consumer. I believe it when they say that there has been collusion between the major producers to manipulate prices by JOINTLY manipulating supply to the market. Otherwise, the reduced cost to the producers, and competition between them, would have created stable, or reduced prices.
