 This picture is of an industrial chicken house in the town of Waldron, Arkansas, where I reported a lot of the meat racket. These chickens you see here are actually baby chicks. They'll grow larger over a period of about six weeks to the point where the chickens entirely cover the floor of a chicken house like this. A typical industrial farm might have five, six, or even seven chicken houses like this to supply the giant Tyson food slaughterhouse in the middle of town. For all the industrial sophistication of a house like this, the power structure around it is almost feudal. The farmers have virtually no control over their operations, but sign a contract with Tyson foods which delivers the birds, delivers the feed, and ask the growers to raise the birds under exacting specifications. The farmers have so little power that they can't negotiate good contracts with the company and are often afraid to speak out about abuses on their farm.
