Watchdog Writers Group analysis of documents filed in the case, in partnership with Investigate Midwest, reveals Tyson coordinated closely with Cal-Maine Foods, the company that ended up buying the Dexter plant. That coordination prevented farmers from continuing their same operations with another Tyson competitor. Documents also show Tyson tried to prevent its former contract farmers from seeking legal remedies over the broken contracts, and has possibly attempted to discourage farmers from speaking with federal officials and journalists. Tyson Foods declined to answer detailed questions about the allegations of the lawsuit... Tyson Foods, which produces about one-fifth of all meat in the U.S., has faced numerous lawsuits and federal investigations over accusations of price fixing.

Around the turn of the 20th century, the Elberta was the most widely grown peach in the United States. Developed in Georgia by grower Samuel E. Rumph, the peaches made their commercial debut in 1875. At the suggestion of a friend, Rumph named them after his wife, Clara Elberta. A bright golden peach with a neon-red blush and orange flesh, the fruit’s greatest advantage was that it could be harvested underripe and slightly firm, which made it durable for shipping by train. What’s more, the peaches did not need to be iced during shipping—a key advantage in an era when ice was costly if it was even available. The Elberta peach ripened in transit, making it perfectly sweet and luscious once it reached Northern markets like New York City. Rumph and his Elberta peach are credited with kicking off Georgia’s peach industry, and making the “Georgia Peach” famous across the country. In 1897, a prominent Georgia orchardist, Colonel John D. Cunningham, told Harper’s Weekly, “Two things that have done so much for the Georgia peach growing industry are the introduction of the Elberta peach and the use of the improved refrigerator car,” the latter of which was introduced in 1880s. And an 1896 article on Rumph’s first plantings in American Agriculturalist Magazine declared, “Among the whole list of peaches both old and new there is no variety that has attained a higher place in public estimation than the Elberta.” But by the mid 20th century, other varieties came on the market that had slim advantages over the Elberta. They lasted even longer in storage and they didn’t have a pointed tip at the bottom of the fruit, like the Elberta, that got crushed in transit. And peach aesthetics changed: Produce sellers felt a more uniformly red peach was more appealing, so the blushed and dappled Elbertas were discarded.
