Dear Oklahoma Poultry Farmer,

You should be aware that on Thursday, March 23, Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson was granted permission in the federal district court for the Northern District of Oklahoma to “begin discovery immediately” in the lawsuit he has filed against the poultry industry.

We believe the Attorney General’s next step, which may happen as early as the week of March 27, will be to issue subpoenas to 21 poultry growers/farms in the Illinois River watershed to allow the Attorney General to take samples of soil, surface water runoff, groundwater and litter. Some of these activities may be ongoing and the Attorney General has stated he wants to install actual monitoring wells on each grower’s land.

If you are a member of Poultry Partners and you receive a subpoena and if you object to the Attorney General’s proposed sampling, please call Poultry Partners’ attorneys Michael Graves and/or Ken Williams at 918-594-0400. Mr. Graves and Mr. Williams have been our organization’s attorneys and we feel very confident they will take whatever actions are appropriate in an attempt protect the farmers in this situation. They are members of the Hall Estill Law firm based out of Tulsa, Okla. If so requested by any Poultry Partner member who receives a subpoena, Mr. Graves and/or Mr. Williams will represent that Poultry Partners’ members in court to oppose this testing.

If you are not a member of Poultry Partners, Inc., and would like to be, please write your name, address, phone number, who you grow for, type of operation and the statement, “I would like to be a member of Poultry Partners” on a piece of paper and send that to Poultry Partners, PO Box 220, Colcord, Ok. 74338.

United we stand,
