Springfield, IL (CAPITOL CITY NOW) – A new study by the American Farm Bureau indicates the cost of a Thanksgiving dinner in Illinois, per person, is down — and not because there are less items in the meal, or contains more store private-label brand in it.  And the cost of turkey in Illinois is a big reason why.  Tasha Bunting, Director of Livestock Programs & Food Systems for the Illinois Farm Bureau, talks with Will Stevenson on the WTAX Morning Newswatch.
