Two Tyson Obion County growers have won National awards from the US Poultry and Egg Association. Only 5 national awards were given and two of the winners came from Obion County. The Morrison and Parham families were both given the Family Farm Environmental Excellence award.
The award recognizes exemplary environmental stewardship by family farmers engaged in poultry and egg production. The award program is open to family-owned poultry growers or egg producers who supply a product to a US Poultry member or an independent producer who is a US Poultry member.
Typically one award is given to a family farm from each geographic region in the United States.
