We had Mr. Randall Baggett from Crider Poultry to present a program to the
Metter Kiwanis Club on the operations of the Crider Poultry plant. Crider
Poultry sells chickens to Wal-Mart, Cosco, Tyson foods, Hormel, and Gerber Baby
Foods just to name a few of their customers. The un-edible components of the
chicken are sold to customers such as Griffin Industries in Dublin, Ga. and are
used for animal foods. Even the chicken combs are sold and used for research on
the prevention of arthritis. Crider Poultry, Inc. is
one of the largest employers in this area.
