Our History
1930s 1940s 1950s 1960s 1970s 1980s 1990s

More than
60 years have passed since John Tyson drove his
battered truck to Chicago to deliver a load of 500
Arkansas chickens.
Tyson heard that chickens were bringing a better
price in northern markets, so he cashed in his savings
and borrowed the rest of the money he needed to
finance the trip. He sold the birds for a profit
of $235, $220 of which he wired home to pay on his
debts and buy another load of birds.
Out of that trip sprung the foundations of a company
that would revolutionize the poultry industry. We
invite you to walk through time and discover how
the world's largest poultry company rose out of
the soil of Northwest Arkansas.
