Becky & Richard Clemmer

Richard and Becky Clemmer of Beck 'N Rich Farm have been raising broilers since 2018. Currently growing for Pilgrim's, Richard and Becky handle the day-to-day operations in the poultry houses. Their two grown daughters, son-in-law, and granddaughter help prepare for baby chicks and pitch in to cover the alarms if Richard and Becky have to be away.

The Clemmers were named George's 2019 Grower of the Year. They work to keep their land clean, saying it starts with the litter process. After the birds leave, and the litter is in windrows and starts to heat, Richard says he turns it several times as it helps to kill the bacteria. "Keeping the right amount of litter helps with the air quality. We check our birds and house conditions thoroughly each day" The Clemmers are also very careful when it comes to biosecurity.
