(RightIsRight.co) – In a devastating blow to American agriculture, Long Island’s last duck farm faces closure after a bird flu outbreak forces the euthanasia of over 100,000 ducks.

This catastrophe highlights the urgent need to protect the nation’s food supply and family farms from invasive diseases that threaten our way of life.

The Crescent Duck Farm in Aquebogue, Long Island, a family-owned operation since 1908, has fallen victim to the highly pathogenic H5N1 bird flu.

Described by farm president Doug Corwin as “COVID for ducks,” this outbreak has brought the century-old business to its knees, potentially ending a proud American farming legacy.

“It was like COVID for ducks. Everything ended,” Corwin stated about the severity of the situation.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture confirmed the presence of bird flu in the flock on January 17, leading to the immediate quarantine of the farm.

Now, Corwin faces the heart-wrenching task of euthanizing his entire flock and laying off many of the farm’s 75 employees.

This disaster not only impacts the Corwin family but also threatens the livelihoods of hardworking Americans and the local economy.

While health officials claim the risk to public health is minimal, the devastating impact on American agriculture cannot be ignored.

The farm must now undergo extensive cleaning and inspections, a process expected to take 2-3 months.

Corwin hopes to restart operations using 7,000 duck eggs acquired before the outbreak, but full recovery could take over a year.

This outbreak raises serious questions about the nation’s biosecurity measures to protect the food supply.

The Crescent Duck Farm’s struggle is a stark reminder of the challenges American farmers face.

Despite surviving economic hardships during the COVID-19 pandemic, this family-owned business now faces an uncertain future due to circumstances beyond their control.
