Koch Foods is interested in placing birds on this farm again. The houses are 42×500, put in production February 2017. The farm combines the possibility for income from catfish production and cattle, hay or row crop.

The farm has a potential gross annual income based on Koch Foods cash flow projection of $348,000. These houses have a 10,000 hen and 1,000 rooster placement. This poultry farm for sale is built to last.
