Sanderson Farms still exists & is still the sponsor. It’s just not owned by the Sandersons anymore.

Good to know. I was told this company is withdrawing from some of Sanderson's past external commitments, so glad to hear they are keeping the golf tournament sponsorship.

I know they're cutting a lot of fat that Sanderson's had built up. Sold all 6 of the Gulfstream jets. Bunch of G150's and a couple of G250's, laid off the entire flight and maintenance staff. Got three huge empty hangars at the Laurel airport, if any of y'all are in need. Joe Frank was big on making sure staff had a family life, and flew middle management to plants every day, to make sure they were back at home by 5 pm. He also did a lot of benevolent flights, for cancer patients, and other patients in need of care far off, that were either too sick to travel by car, or couldn't afford to pay to fly. Joe Frank has ordered a new jet for himself, to use to carry on that benevolence. Now, the new company makes employees drive to all of those plants, even in Texas and NC. Almost everyone is gone from Sanderson's headquarters. Someone told me last week (their daughter was just laid off and she'd been their over 20 years) that the only thing left at headquarters was the insurance department, and that they were on the chopping block, too..

Fun fact. Wayne farms was way smaller than Sanderson Farms, but was able to buy Sanderson's with the help of a couple of wealthy Russian investors. So, now Russians own a big part of our food supply

Looks like they signed a 10-year contract that expires in 2026. Not sure what kind of out cleanses there are, but Wouldn’t be surprised if they drop out then.

There are some inaccuracies in this. There is uncertainty about the future, but to this point there have not been mass layoffs at the Sanderson GO in Laurel. I promise you there are more than just insurance reps still in the building. I personally know several people that still work in that office in various departments. I do think some upper level executives were bought out but a good bit of the GO staff is still in place.

Also, Sanderson was purchased by Cargill and Continental Grain, not “Russian investors”. The buyers owned Wayne Farms and opted to combine Wayne and Sanderson into a separate, new entity.

Sanderson was a family business from the get-go, and after Joe Frank I don’t think there was another Sanderson that was being groomed to be next in line. Given that it was a $4.5 billion dollar sale, I’m going to guess Joe Frank and his family will be just fine.

FWIW, my info came from a GO executive who just took her buyout week before last. You might want to look into the details of the transaction, instead of the big picture.

Dorn gonna Dorn. You should stay in your lane. You're looking at the entities. Not the investors brought in on that purchase by Cargill and CG. Missed dunk there, Dorn

So you're telling me Cargill, who had an estimated 165 billion in revenue in 2022, along with their partner Continental Grain (14B in revenue in 2022) needed a couple rooskie investors to buy Sanderson for 4.5 billion?

I find your belief system fascinating.

Yes. That's exactly what I'm telling you. Again. Stay in your lane. My info came from a Sanderson executive involved in M&A

Whether there’s Russian investors or not the deal shouldn’t have been allowed for antitrust reasons. The ag industry from machinery to the food and grain sector has way too many conglomerates.

I wouldn’t trust any “executive” that would provide details of a major deal like that. That type of “insider” info usually comes from a middle manager who spent too much time around the water cooler.
