We've got trouble. Right here in Rocky Mount. With a capital T which rhymes with C that stands for Chickens. Ok, so Sanderson Farms wants to bring a chicken processing plant to Rocky Mount which would bring over 1,000 jobs to the area. There is so much debate over this matter, it's incredible. Both sides are incredibly passionate and it has gotten to the point where no matter where I go, I get yelled at for working for the Telegram which is obviously in Sanderson's pocket/against bringing industry to the area depending on who's doing the yelling. As one of my editors Gene says, if both sides are pissed at us, we must be doing it right. Above are photos from a plant in Kinston NC that is set to open in January.
