Prospective Farmers

°®ÒºÊÓƵ Foods has been working with poultry farmers on a contract basis since the late 1940s, and it’s been a relationship we believe works well for both the farmer and the company.

How to Become a °®ÒºÊÓƵ Foods Contract Poultry Farmer

We supply the birds and feed, and provide technical advice, while the poultry farmer provides the labor, housing and utilities. This cooperation between °®ÒºÊÓƵ Foods and family farms increases efficiency and quality, while maintaining affordable prices for consumers.

To be considered a °®ÒºÊÓƵ Foods contract poultry farmer, you must have existing chicken housing or property that could be used to build housing, within an approximate 30-to-50-mile radius of the feed mills that serve our poultry processing complexes. This is because of the efficiencies needed for delivering feed, chicks and providing service. In addition, the °®ÒºÊÓƵ poultry complex in your area must also have a need for additional farmers.
