A workplace altercation at a Pilgrim’s Pride chicken processing facility in Sumter, S.C., led to one employee being airlifted to a hospital after being stabbed.
Reports indicate that James Laverne Lowery was a contract grower for the company, but his contract was terminated earlier this year, allegedly for poor performance.
The list of facilities visited in the past year by editor-in-chief Andy Hanacek continues to impress, featuring some of the biggest companies and most innovative plants in the industry!
Andy Hanacek offers his thoughts on the roller-coaster battle royal for Hillshire Brands, and how he thinks Pilgrim’s Pride would benefit more from the acquisition, in this special edition of From the Editor’s Desk.
The investment includes the construction of a new feed mill in Pinckard, Ala., and a $10 million renovation of the processing facility in Enterprise, Ala.
Pilgrim's Pride Corp. reports second quarter 2013 financial results with net sales of $2.2 billion, compared to $2.0 billion reported in the second quarter of 2012.
