Freehold Welcomes the Largest Chicken Farm in America

[Johny Joe Hold]

God's capitalism has brought us wonderful things including cheap food. Now the Costco Company is making food even cheaper by building the largest chicken farm ever. It will be a couple of hours west of Freehold on I-80. While it is in our neighboring State of Nebraska I think we can be Midwest proud.

I've been working with Mayors in western Iowa and Nebraska to raise the subsidies needed for this project. It will be exciting to see semi truck loads of eggs and chicken breasts rolling down the interstate.

This kind of accomplishment can only come when Republicans have to power to crush the political resistance of liberals. It would be fine to have their cooperation but Godly progress needs to go on with or without them.

I tried to find out some more about this exciting job creating opportunity but the liberal press seemed rather hostile. What's all that stuff about regenerative farming? Isn't that what birds do all by themselves?

1. bird..
2. lays an egg..
3. regenerates into another..
4. bird..
5. more eggs..
6. more birds..

Poultry is also very accessible to small-scale farmers, who produce most of the food in the world — an important fact that many are unaware of. About 40 percent of the world's population — an estimated 2.6 billion people — are small farmers; a majority of them cultivating less than five acres.1

In some areas that percentage is even higher. In Africa, for example, small farmers grow 90 percent of the available food

"The factory-farming, conventional system claims they feed the world. The actual facts are totally the opposite, but they have the power, and own and control that story," Reginaldo says.

And in Africa it's pretty well wall-to-wall famine!!

Sometimes when I am traveling, I'll see chicken trucks. It is fun to see how many I can hit with my Glock at highway speeds. Chickens, not trucks.

Sure, Jesus approached some fishermen and convinced them to make a career move to become Apostles, but He didn't mean that all of us should become Apostles. These vegan soy hippie types would like us all to become African subsistence farmers - except for them, they get to fly around in jets attending conferences telling the rest of us how to live our lives (and pay for their jets).

God made the chicken to be highly efficient at making meat (and to bless Chick-fil-A). Imagine what it would cost to ship 9 pounds of chicken feed around the country instead of 5 pounds of chicken meat - not to mention that we would all be eating chicken feed if these greenies had their way.

On average a broiler consumes about 9 pounds of feed (current cost of about $1.50 or $.30/pound) and reaches 5 pounds (live weight) in 5 weeks.

My Mayor colleagues and I are fighting these commie animal rights activists over how much space each of these stupid chickens need. They want the chickens to have enough space to, get this now, "spread out their wings."

These chickens are only in their growing pens for a few weeks. Why do they need to spread out their wings during their short lives? The Bible clearly says we are to rule over the chickens, not the other way around.

I had to smile. The idyllic conditions resulting from socialist over-regulation, akin to a tropical island where French artists see no need to wear clothes, mean that modern farmed poultry grows virtually no feathers. Why would they wanna stretch their wings?

I remember when capons were readily available and even injected a few myself as a child on one of the family farms. Everything was explained but of course not all farmers are Christians and some would go overboard on the early sales and stuff. That was explained to me too. If an electric spit roast offered capons I feel there'd be many more takers. Also toothsome is the old boiler, thoroughly basted with plenty of spice: everybody tucks in! Yummy!! Let's bring back good honest food.

Why indeed. The chickens are in cages. There is no place to fly.

Liberals who want to improve the short lives of chickens should pipe in music or something.

Exactly! Something like these people serenading cows:

I guess cows that listen to music are believed to produce better milk? Scientists these days come up with the strangest ideas!

There's always those Israeli featherless ones in which the red stuff (comb) on its head extends down over the whole body. From the photographs they could extend their "wings" in a cage, but I think they're mainly open-range birds.

The most wonderful food in the world in found right here in the U.S.A. We a Landover Baptist thank the giant factories in our country that fill refrigerated trucks with processed chicken 24 hours a day, seven days a week:
