Chicken. And lots of it here in Fayetteville Arkansas, or is that Springdale. I forget. Supported by several processors using migrants in the western ozark hills. More or less.
The food taint bad as long you cook it proper, but to get loaded and out of that particular tyson requires a patience of Job sometimes waiting a day to get that loaded. So many chickens.... yum. After a while it's difficult. But it is what it is.

Here one version of the story. Its actually interesting.
Here's a little excerpt
Long-haul driver Tim McCrory was transporting 960 pieces of plywood to a Home Depot in Zephyrhills, Fla., a Tampa suburb, on Sept. 8 when he blew a tire on his truck, he told TV’s “Inside Edition.”
Seven hours passed before he finally got the tire fixed and by the time he arrived at Home Depot, it was past 9 p.m. The store was closed and boarded as a precaution as the storm rolled in, according to the report.
Home Depot’s manager, who was leaving, told McCrory to return Tuesday, he said.
McCrory said he called his company’s dispatcher, who directed him to bring the load to Atlanta. But before beginning the trip, he decided to nap for a few hours.
Around 2 a.m., a police officer banged on his truck window and asked what was going on, before urging him not to bring the load to Atlanta, according to the report.
He’d be better off giving the plywood to locals who could make good use of it before Irma hit, the officer explained.
“I was ready to give [the lumber] up, 100 percent,” McCrory told “Inside Edition.” “I got kids of my own. I’m a family man. If I was in their situation, I’d want somebody to do that for me.”
McCrory, along with about 20 officers, started unloading the sheets as the cops began calling local residents.
“They said, ‘If you need plywood to board up your house, come and get it,’ ” McCrory said. “It’s a small town and everybody knows everybody. They got the word out. There was just a line of cars. The storm was coming, and it was coming fast.”
Residents began arriving to pick up the plywood — which ended up protecting about 150 houses, he said

He wouldn't have gotten into trouble if he had sold the plywood. Most likely, $20 a sheet would have been as much or more than Home Depot was to pay. Am sure the shipper would have been more than happy with this.
Makes the Home Depot manager look bad.
He needed to get out of there. The company isn't running a ministry.born&raisedintheusa Thanks this. -
