Wisconsin Chicken Farmers Battle The Corporate Chicken

Chuck Zimmerman

Gold'n Plump ChickenThis is worth checking out just to watch and listen to the corporate chicken protest song! It’s a Gold’n Plump-sponsored site which you can find here.

Wisconsin chicken farmers are fighting back. A statewide public education campaign kicks-off this month to rally public support for the local chicken cause. The movement includes a modest-budget radio ad featuring a folk singer who performs a tongue-in-cheek protest song telling corporate chicken to get stuffed.

Wisconsin chicken farmers are getting a raw deal at the grocery store. More than one hundred local farm families who make their livings raising all natural Wisconsin chicken for Gold’n Plump are seeing their products squeezed off store shelves by out-of-state corporations. Unless Wisconsin residents take action, the situation could hurt consumers and the state economy. Today, Wisconsin farm families are banding together to fight back.
