ConAgra Foods, Inc., Ozark AR


Harold Dodgen, a native of Ozark started the business of processing turkeys, with his first customer being the Missouri Pacific Railroad, in 1946.  He processed 35 turkeys for them for their Thanksgiving dinner.  This led Dodgen to believe there was an untapped opportunity to make money in processing turkeys and selling them to the public. By 1966 Dodgen's production had increased to 1,370,000 head.  In 1966, Cargill, Inc. contacted him and he agreed to sell an interest in the business.  Cargill began selling product under the Cargill name in 1970 and continued until 2003 when ConAgra Foods, Inc. purchased the processing plant. 

In October 1991 a $13,500,000 expansion of the facilities took place.  The new facility opened in March 1993 and can run 102 birds per minute, currently processing 140,000,000 pounds per year. 

ConAgra Foods, Inc. purchased the facility from Cargill, Inc. on March 17, 2003.  Employment information can be obtained by calling (479) 667-8579.
