Greencastle, Pa.
According to the PPC turkey info I have as of 7-17-07 this is how they do it $$$$ wise
Polts are costing them [PPC] about $00.65/85 each [hens] Rememger about!!!!!!!!
Grower pays close to 50- 60% of gas. Sometimes the grower makes-out ok but most of the time not!!!
Grower is paid about an adv. of .059 cents/pd for birds 88 to 93 days old [14.5 to 15.5lbs live wt.]
Grower can be pd. more for good feed conversion or less for bad. Meds can have a huge impact on pay.
This is just kind of basic info that is not hard to get ones hands on. [Disclaimer] I do NOT grow for PPC or affiliated with said Co. in any way.

PS+++According to a press release 82 growers [chicken] have filed Class-Action Suites against PPC. 40 in Arkgnsas and 42 in Texas. I have the press releases if any one cares to see them via e-mail. Remember PPC is presumed "insinuate" until proven other-wise!!!!!!!!! This is all "public information"
