And I have been vocal about the opportunity for chicken feature activity in foodservice during the next several months. Below is new data set and model that I am compiling to track feature activity by restaurant chains. Note that chicken is certainly garnering the bulk of the feature activity so far this month, but beef isn't going away. At least not yet. ![](https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/D4E12AQETb2c-3J6rkw/article-inline_image-shrink_1500_2232/0/1695156010020?e=1700697600&v=beta&t=wa4z8OhujbsL4rLkxPgX3TY5GS_2Bq2mH7ph2cO1MDk) Datum FS has forecasts for over 50 commodities comprising various beef, dairy, grains, pork and chicken markets.
