PROFILE |
 |
Premium Standard Farms (PSF) goes whole hog. The company, one of the largest pork producers in the US, controls production from birth to slaughter, making feed and selling live hogs, fresh pork, and processed products. It has facilities in rural northern Missouri and in Texas. Not everyone is hog wild about PSF: The company has faced protests and paid fines over the economic and environmental impact of its large-scale hog operations. Founded in 1988 and slopped with cash for years by investment bank Morgan Stanley, PSF reorganized under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 1996. Agribusiness giant ContiGroup bought 51% of PSF in 1998 and combined its own pork operations with the company.
