Foster Farms announced that it will not renew the contracts of all chicken growers who previously sold to Pilgrim's Pride in Farmerville, the Associated Press reported. The California-based company acquired the Pilgrim's Pride plant in Farmerville in early May.
Ira Brill, director of marketing services at Foster Farms, said the plant cannot accommodate the grower base that was previously supplying two plants – the Farmerville plant and the Clinton, Ark. plant that is now closed.
Grower contracts are subject to USDA regulations.
