with employees, growers
Tyson Foods has announced to
day the company has just distribut
ed over S4O million in annual bonus
payments to its work force and con
tract poultry growers in 12 states.
According to Leland Tollett, Pres
ident and CEO of the Springdale,
Arkansas based food company, the
cash performance awards are the
result of the company reaching cer
tain financial and operating objec
tives, including the achievement of
record sales and earnings in fiscal

company's profitability has provid
ed bonuses to its people and the
sixth year for the growers.
Tyson Foods became the world’s
largest poultry producer during the
1980's, with annual sales increasing
almost tenfold during the decade.
The acquisition of poultry producer
HollyFarmsin 1989, along with sub
sidiary beef and pork processing
units, played a significant role in
Tyson’s rapid growth. According to
industry sources, the company’s
weekly production of approximate
ly 25 million chickens is nearly
equal to that of Great Britain and
Japan combined.
“To compete in the global econo
my in the next decade, it’s impor
tant for people to have a stake in
their company’s success,” Tollett
said.
