The most noted achievement
in Newberry county in 1%7
was the rise in the economy
thrmigh ttre hreating of addi
tional industry.
Th* 1 Ocoma Foods Company's
turkey processing plant began
operation several months ago.
The plant is equipped to process
IM.tMiil turkeys in a normal H
hour .'hift
\b wherry county was at one
tim ■ one of til*' largest turkey
gr 'Wing countle- in the* state.
The lack of year round market s
caused loci! growers to cut
down on 'heir flocks. With the
(iciuna Food Plant, which is a
Sul* id*a rv of Consolidated
Food- of Chcago .111, locating
lioii' growers and flocks are
o*i ’he r so. In addition to local
tuikryr. siveMil surrounding

to exnand their facilities. I)air\-

have been the mainstay of the
economy over a period of many
gears. Local rattle have achiev
ed national recognition for
their ownrts for production and
various other qualities. I he
dull.OOll hens m Newberry have
created four million dollars in
