Reflecting on the Growth of the Chicken Industry, Discussing the Challenges and Opportunities Ahead

Clint Rivers, president and CEO of Wayne-Sanderson Farms, has had a long, esteemed career in the poultry industry, and he is retiring March 31, 2025, after leading several chicken companies over the last few decades.

Rivers sat down with me during the International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) in Atlanta in January to talk about the challenges and opportunities in front of the chicken industry and how technology continues to push the envelope in processing applications.

He also reflects on his career, talks about the good mentors who have guided him, and offers his advice for those just starting out in the industry.
