With Super Bowl Sunday approaching, rumors of a chicken wing shortage have been circulating, but the National Corn Growers Association asserts that there is no such shortage.
According to commentary by the association on the Ag Professional website, chicken wings will be abundant as supplies are currently 68 percent higher than at this time last year.
“Newspapers, online sources and television reports alike have spent days now terrifying a hungry public with reports that party food favorite buffalo chicken wings will be in short supply this Super Bowl. Linking the supposed shortage to a variety of factors, from the drought to the government biofuels policy, these reports need to check their readily available facts,” the letter reads.
It continues: “Go ahead and invite a few extra friends over for the big game without fearing a fight will break out over the wings. America’s farmers have you covered.”
The Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers will face off in Super Bowl XLVII Sunday.
