LISTEN: 1.3 Million Chickens Killed After Poultry Processor Goes Belly Up

  • Summary

  • The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship (IDALS) announced that it received permission from a court to kill approximately 1.3 million broiler chickens previously owned by a Minnesota poultry processor. The department added that it concluded depopulation on October 25.

    The decision comes after the chickens’ previous owner, Pure Prairie Poultry, filed for bankruptcy at the end of September, attributing their position to pandemic-influenced supply chain issues and low chicken prices. Minnesota and Iowa station KIMT News 3 reported that the company owed debtors between $100 million and $500 million.
