Modern Day Sharecropping
As detailed in our report, Tyson Spells Trouble for Arkansas, we analyzed US Department of Agriculture data and sales data from the Arkansas poultry processing industry and found that:
Blocking independent farmers by controlling the market. Just like Armor did back in the Slaughterhouse days of Chicago/Stockyards.

As detailed in our report, Tyson Spells Trouble for Arkansas, we analyzed US Department of Agriculture data and sales data from the Arkansas poultry processing industry and found that:
- Tyson operates like a monopoly in the Arkansas chicken industry. It accounts for more than two-thirds of the state’s poultry processing. And in some parts of the state, Tyson really has the market cornered: In seven counties, Tyson was the single company controlling all broiler chicken production.
- Tyson has been aggressive in buying up companies and assets in its quest for poultry industry domination. Since 1990, it has made 47 acquisitions (far more than its leading competitors) up and down the supply chain, acquiring not just processing plants but also chicken breeders and even the mills that make chicken feed.
- Tyson’s increasing stranglehold on the industry since 1990 has coincided with a loss of half of the poultry farms in Arkansas. That has happened even as the number of chickens raised in the state every year has risen 1,000%.
- Finally, the concentration and scale of Tyson’s operation has also led to a concentration of chicken manure and other waste around the farms and plants clustered in Northwest Arkansas. That affects the people who live in the region. And the two most affected counties are counties with a large share of Arkansas’s Latino and Native American population, already disadvantaged communities who now also have to live with the air and water pollution that Tyson has created.

Two words: land ownership.
Raise your own chickens, slaughter your own chicken, feed them what they supposed to eat...
I thought I was clear the first time:
...consumers run out of food.
But you wanna talk about lab chickens instead of homesteading, building businesses, working together like other communities despite competition and conflict... Support black farmers. Education and determination is the key, beloved.
How did you figure I wasn't for this? Or is this your drop down menu response you have readily available? I speak more about black owned/educated/family than a majority of the people on this site.
