“’So far, poultry losses,
as of Sept. 18, are 3.4 million birds. This does exceed poultry losses in
Hurricane Matthew,’” Andrea Ashby stated. One of Americas largest chicken
producers, Sanderson Farms, Inc. stated they lost around 1.7 million birds to
the hurricane. They’re also warning that if they can not gain access to farms
that are away from the floodwaters another 6.3 million will be at risk.
Sanderson Farms, Inc. believes that the losses of live inventory could escalate if they don
not get access to those farms. Sanderson Jr. owner of Sanderson Farms, Inc. stated, “’While we will work hard
over the next few weeks to get our operations back on line, our primary focus
will be to respond to the needs of our local communities,’” Sanderson Jr. goes
on to say “’ We will continue to help those whose lives have been more
seriously disrupted.’”
