Investigate Midwest did a great job with that story! Thanks for reading and for sharing this link, Sam.

My folks live in NW Arkansas near where Tyson has its headquarters, and I see (and smell) these contract chicken farms everywhere. Investigate Midwest also ran a story this month looking at the farmers who are burdened with debt after Tyson ended their contracts without warning. A great companion piece next to all three of your stories. Keep up the great work!

During this process we produce carbon credits. Using our char in a poultry operation can exponentially reduce the odor, reduce bird mortality by up to 80% and it will kill beetle infestations. We are looking for farms to work with and would like to ultimately have an article on the results. Perhaps you might be able to direct us? I love your publication and have forwarded it to many others.

Factory farming sounds like indentured servitude! What a slave racket. Externalize the costs and privatize the profits. It truly operates on perverse incentives!
