A turkey processor in the United Kingdom
set its sights on further expansion in the
United States. Kelly Turkeys USA LLC, a
unit of Kelly Turkeys UK, announced plans
to open a poultry production and processing
plant in Albemarle County, Va. The company
specializes in high-end, heritage turkey
products through direct mail and retail.
Kelly Turkeys will spend $1.4 million on a
new facility, which the company expects will
process 10,000 turkeys annually over three years.
Kelly Turkeys UK is known for the
KellyBronze turkey, the company's premium
holiday bird. The company produces an
organic KellyBronze turkey, raised without
drugs, additives or growth promoters.
In 2006, Kelly Turkeys UK acquired a farm
in Virginia to process KellyBronze turkeys for
the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States.
Kelly Turkeys USA prepares turkeys the same
way KellyBronze turkeys are produced in the
United Kingdom.
Mar-Jac Poultry Alabama LLC
announced an expansion initiative at its
northwest Alabama poultry operations starting
with a $25 million feed mill in Spruce Pine in
Franklin County, Ala.
"After careful consideration, the Mar-Jac
board of directors chose Spruce Pine as the
location for this investment to ensure the
present and future growth of our northwest
Alabama operations," Doug Carnes, a Mar-Jac
director, said in a statement. "Mar-Jac's new
feed mill is a critical part of our poultry
complex in supplying feed to farms throughout
north Alabama."
Spruce Pine is close to the center of the
company's grower base, Carnes said, with
access to the Norfolk Southern railroad line
that will bring in up to 100 rail cars of grain
and soy every seven to 10 days for the feed
mill. Mar-Jac will buy additional soy and corn
produced by local farms.
Additional projects include a $10 million
expansion of Mar-Jac's processing plant in
Jasper, Ala., and a $7 million expansion of a
hatchery in Moulton, Ala. Also in the works -
a poultry house construction project. Mar-Jac
plans to contract with area farmers to build
100 to 125 broiler, pullet and hen houses.
