Honestly, because it's Costco and they have built up some good name capital, i think this might be a good deal for these farmers.

Unless you're in the agriculture industry, or in the food industry, you might not know that a lot of chicken (especially things like wings) is coming from Brazil. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but if Costco can get some American farmers on board, and get them making money, and get them producing a good product, they could probably get some really good business out of it.

I'm always suspicious, but this sounds pretty win-win.
