Poultry growers testify before joint committee on Cooks Venture

Three former Cooks Venture poultry growers, including one from Madison County, testified to a joint committee on Agriculture, Forestry and Economic Development on Friday to describe their experiences with the company as it claimed it was going out of business late in 2023 and with the State of Arkansas as it depopulated more than 1 million chickens owned by Cooks Venture.
