Wisconsin residents are digging deeper into their pockets to pay for Thanksgiving dinner this year. According to the Wisconsin Farm Bureau’s annual Marketbasket survey, the pri ce of a Thanksgiving meal to serve 10 people is up a whopping 17.25 percent this year. Farm Bureau spokeswoman Cassie Sonnentag says the price of turkey is driving the huge jump. The price for a 16 pound turkey was up 40-percent over last year. Sonnentag says increased costs from processing to transportation have led to increased food prices.
