"Harvest Select Catfish is intent on being a change leader," says Randy Rhodes, president. "The fact that we are one of the industry's only vertically integrated companies, meaning we've got the hatchery, farm, feed, processing and transportation, allows us to have more control over all of our costs. The moves that we are making now demonstrate our confidence in the industry and our confidence in our own ability to assume a leadership role in the catfish industry."
Harvest Select Catfish has farms in Mississippi, Alabama and Arkansas and processing facilities in Uniontown, Ala., and Eudora, Ark.
