Judge rules Pilgrim Progress manipulated poultry price Sunday, December 4, 2011 According to the online newspaper Anti-Trust Today, Peter Carson, an antitrust law professor at the University of Wisconsin, says a federal ruling against the largest chicken processor in the United States may open up a new avenue for farmers to sue processors in beef and pork markets as well.In early October, a federal judge ruled that Pilgrim's Progress knowingly manipulated the price of chicken in 2009 by closing a processing plant in El Dorado, Ark. Pilgrim's Progress "was motivated by a desire to manipulate the price of chicken," U.S. federal magistrate Charles Everingham ruled. The judge ordered Pilgrim to pay 91 Arkansas producers nearly $26 million. The ruling stated that the Packers and Stockyards Act was violated.Suits filed by growers in Louisiana and Texas are still pending. The company had filed for bankruptcy protection in 2008.
