  Moy Park has started construction on its 100th new poultry house.

  From WATTAgNet:
  Moy Park has hit a major milestone with its “Plan to Grow” program, as construction has started on its 100th new poultry house since launching the program in 2013. The 100th new poultry house will be located on a farm in Dungannon, Northern Ireland.
  Clive Marshall is the operator of the farm, and he expects birds to be housed there as soon as early 2015.
  “This is my first venture into poultry farming,” said Marshall. “I am currently a part time beef farmer with my father. I’ve always had a keen interest in farming and wanted to expand the existing farm business. I felt this opportunity with Moy Park was the perfect first step in making farming a long-term career for me.”
  David Gibson, Moy Park Director of Agriculture commented: “We are delighted to have reached this fantastic milestone and the success of the ‘Plan to Grow’ program has been highlighted through this build. We currently work with over 600 of the very best local poultry farmers, who employ the highest standards on their farms and we are very proud to be developing our farming base in Northern Ireland.’’
  Moy Park, through its Plan to Grow program, anticipates having 250 new poultry houses by the end of 2015.
