Question

Why georgia is one of the country's largest producers of poultry?

Answer 1

The poultry industry was changed immensely by Jesse Jewell, a civil engineer and businessman from North Georgia. Mr. Jewell started selling baby chicks and feed to Georgia farmers on credit, buying back adult chickens at a price that covered his costs and guaranteed the farmers profits. After gathering enough farmers to reliably produce broilers—chickens specifically raised for meat—Mr. Jewell invested in his own processing plant and hatchery.
