Tyson Foods Inc. of Springdale had a rough financial year in its chicken segment, and those struggles came crashing down on its integrator farmers. The company announced in August that it would not renew contracts with farmers whose contracts had two years or less remaining. The news affected at least 39 farmers in Carroll County and six in Boone County. "We have some tremendous hardship going on right now," said Chris Meador, the chairman of the poultry division for the Arkansas Farm Bureau. "It's a messed-up deal."
