Central Iowa | I have raised hogs under contract with Farmland/Murphy/Smithfield for 20 years. From my experience it is no surprise that they want total control. That is how they operate. To me this paragraph jumped out:
"Smithfield also aims to work directly with farmers to influence farm management, from crop rotations to fertilizer and fungicide applications that could result in higher-quality grain that speeds weight gain in hogs. Smithfield could have a say in the seeds that are planted for the grain to feed the hogs it slaughters to produce the pork it sells."
