Tyson is big in Georgia but I read the article and it doesn’t mention any companies.

My meat market guy at the local grocery store told me that they are all involved.

Gainesville, GA is the poultry capital of the world and is only 20 miles from here.

May explain why Costco decided to go into the broiler chicken business themselves instead of dealing with these crooks.

Pilgrim’s CEO Jayson Penn and former vice-president Roger Austin, along with Claxton president Mikell Fries and vice-president Scott Brady are now the first to be charged in the agency’s price fixing investigation.

Rival poultry producers Tyson Foods and Sanderson Farms are also part of the Justice department investigation. Both have denied the allegations of wrongdoing.

In this modern communications age, I’m actually surprised we could have a cartel controlling the price and supply of chickens.

Anyone else notice that KFC chicken wings are now about the smallest you can get and are also almost all broken? Did the chickens owe loan sharks money? Does the slaughterhouse only hire sadists who love to break living chicken’s wings?

And someday, in a galaxy far far away, they will be convicted and pay some fines and we will still pay high prices and the gooberment will piss away the small amount paid in fines.

Nothing new to see here citizen, move along.

The Country burns, a Race War is imminent, a successful Coup is in progress and we worry about paying $.50 a pound more for Chicken. I’m just glad we can still buy Chicken.
