Nebraska poultry producers are betting that the huge chicken plant in Fremont will provide a new, badly needed revenue source.
For 25-year-old Colten Schafersman, of Hooper, the Costco/Lincoln Premium Poultry chicken plant provides opportunity to continue a way of life

Schafersman, with the backing of his grandfather, has invested two-million dollars in three pullet barns south of Hooper.
Lincoln Premium Poultry CEO Walt Shafer says such investment will have a bigger impact than anything the company can do to clear misconceptions about the plant

At full capacity, the plant will process more than 2 million chickens per week.
