A poultry growing arrangement (“contract”) is a grow-out contract, marketing agreement, or other arrangement.  A live poultry dealer (“company”) contracts with poultry growers to raise live poultry for slaughter.

Why are Accurate Scales and Weights Important?

When weights are used to determine payment for live poultry, the use of accurate scales, honest weighing practices protect the poultry grower and seller’s right to fair value.  Using accurate scales and weights also guards the live poultry dealer’s right to equity.
