(The National Pulse)—A case of bird flu has been identified in a commercial poultry operation for the first time since the onset of the current outbreak in 2022.
The Georgia Department of Agriculture (GDA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service confirmed the presence of the H5N1 strain of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza in Elbert County. This marks the fifth incident involving the virus in Georgia’s poultry flocks but is the first occurrence within a commercial setting.
Earlier reports from the GDA last week indicated the virus’s presence in a flock of 13 chickens and ducks located in Clayton County. In response to these developments, the state has halted all poultry-related events, including exhibitions, shows, swaps, meets, and sales, until further notice, according to state officials.
The H5N1 virus has been a concern since 2003, with over 400 fatalities linked to the virus worldwide. In the United States, the virus was recently associated with the first reported death of a Louisiana resident.
At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
