It also processes pork and breeds catfish and is involved in metal fabrication as well as financing for farmers. Gold Kist produces nuts through its 25% stake in #1 US pecan processor Young Pecan Company and its 25% stake in Golden Peanut Company (a partnership with Archer Daniels Midland and Swiss-owned Alimenta Processing).
