SANDERSONFARMS NEWS

Dear Associates,

As I look at the performance of all of our operations, I am grateful to all of you for yourcontribution toward the continued success of Sanderson Farms.

Our net income for the first ninemonths of fiscal 2010 totaled $87.0million, comparedwith $62.5million for the first ninemonths of last year.

Sanderson Farms’ financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 reflect favorablemarket conditions and solid execution in our operations. Retail grocery store demandhas remained strong, although food service demand has remained sluggish, andwilllikely remain thatway until the employmentmarket improves andmore consumersreturn to restaurants. Exports have been challenging due to Russia being closed to U.S.products and China imposingtariffs on U.S. chicken. Ouroperations continue to runwell, resulting in solidoperatingmargins for thethird quarter.

Our financial and operatingperformance reflects theability and focus of ourmanagers, employees andcontract producers whoalwaysmanage our operationsthe sameway, regardless ofmarket conditions.continued on page 3

I congratulate you, and thank you for your excellent performanceand your dedication to Sanderson Farms.

Excellent performance includes achieving our operational goals, but it also includesachieving success through proper and prudentmanagement of our assets;maintaining good employee relations and grower relations; following companypolicy; being responsible for the safety of others; continuing our growth plans; andhonoring our company culture and our vision.

Remember the Sanderson Farms vision – to be special, growing, successful, andrespected. Execution of our vision rests in the hands of Sanderson Farms employees.I believe our long term profitable growth, increased shareholder value, andprospects for achieving our vision, also rest on the strength of the employeesworking throughout Sanderson Farms.

While we believemarket forces will support a favorable balance of supply anddemand for our industry over the long term,we recognize therewill always beshort-term challenges for our industry. We used to call the up and down turns in ourindustry “cycles”, but they now seem to also be triggered by events. Russianembargos, avian influenza, Chinese tariffs, economic turmoil and recessions, andwhatever event is next. While we aremindful of cycles and events, our philosophy isto continue tomanage Sanderson Farms for the long term. It is precisely becauseweknow these events and cycles will occur thatwemaintain a balance sheet that canwithstandwhatever comes ourway.

Sanderson Farms has continued its pattern of growth throughout the various cyclesand events that characterize both our nation’s economy and our industry. While wenote our position as the fourth largest poultry producer in the United States, we areespecially proud thatwe have achieved our growthwhilemaintaining our position asone of themost efficient, low cost operators in our industry, and at all timesimproving product quality, customer service, and maintaining a balance sheet thatcanwithstand cycles and events.We have followed this pattern of steady,manageable growth becausewe believe having additional pounds of productto sell allows us tomeet our responsibility to deliver higher earnings.

GROWERS WACO


A Wing & A Prayer, LLC– Jerry Bolton, Flock Supervisor

Becky and Roger Willis

Roger Willis, owner of A Wing & A Prayer, LLC, is a contracted grower for the SandersonFarms Waco Production Division. Roger and his wife, Becky, have been married for 29years. Becky Willis is the owner and operator of Becky’s Cottage and Soda Fountain, a

The Willis’s have two kids, a daughter Winter, who is 26 and astay-at-home mom, and son Laramie, who is 24 and a mechanic. Roger and Becky Willis arealso the proud grandparents of three beautiful grandchildren: Korbin, Kennedy, and Kambri.Roger was kind enough to take a little time out of his busy schedule to answer a fewquestions about his Sanderson Farms experience thus far:

When did you get into the business? “I’ve been growing chickens for Sanderson Farms sinceAugust 1, 2008. So, it’s been two years since I got into the chicken growing business.”

What did you do before getting into the business? “I was an A/C Technician for Clear CreekHeat & Air. That was the last job I had before deciding to go into business for myself.”

What do you have to say or how do you feel about what you do now? “I make my hours,there’s a lot of flexibility in my personal life, and I’m building equity for the future. Growingchickens can be a challenge at times, especially in this Texas heat. But, I really enjoy raisingchickens and being an independent business owner.”

The Art of Customer Responsiveness– Teri Myers

Each one of us has the opportunity to bring to life the hallmark outlined in our SandersonFarms Vision statement to provide “responsiveness to customer needs”.

One definition of the word “customer” is “a person with whom one has dealings.” Ourcustomers are not only the external customers who buy our product. They are also internalcustomers, to whom we provide assistance and information every single day.

Our customers, whether external or internal, have basic needs which include: to be treated withrespect, friendliness, and courtesy; to be treated fairly; and to receive accurate information.

The Art of Customer Responsiveness training provides Sanderson Farms employees the vitalskills necessary to be responsive to our customers’ needs.

The Art of Customer Responsiveness

• Seek out what your customers need and want.

• Expand your definition of service.

• Redefine your customers as internal and external.

• View customers as the most important part of your job.

• Instant connections: communicating and establishing relationships are the essence of

your job.

• Communicate with your customers in the language that they understand.

• Effectiveness increases with recognition of communication styles.

Telephone Etiquette

• Never let the telephone ring more than three times: a caller is waiting.

• Impressions are lasting: good ones or not-so-good ones.

• Communicate with callers based on our company culture: respect, dignity, integrity.

• End call on a positive note: thank the caller and allow the caller to hang up first.


Happy Thanksgiving!

Quarterly Trainee Meeting– Stanley Wilson


Texas Trainees

Georgia Trainees

Sanderson Farms Trainees from Mississippi, Georgia and Texas met in June for the QuarterlyTrainee Meeting. The training sessions were created from a book entitled “One MinuteManager”, by Ken Blanchard, Ph. D. and Spencer Johnson, M.D. The book discusses three

necessary skills for successful management of employees by incorporating skills that promotepositive reinforcement of employees’ accomplishments through the proper and timely use ofpraise, as well as properly administering reprimands for lack of performance.

The core concept of the training is focused on the idea that “People who feel good aboutthemselves will produce good results”. The principles taught are useful not only for the workenvironment, but also for teaching the importance of goal-setting, responsibility and theconsequences for irresponsible behavior, while building self-esteem.

The Salt Hiding in Your Diet

Nearly 90% of adults consume more salt than the U.S. dietary guidelines recommend. Eatingtoo much sodium, a key component of salt, can contribute to high blood pressure, a majorrisk for most people as they age because it can lead to heart disease and other health

problems. But cutting sodium from the diet is difficult, mainly because people often don’t know it’sthere. More than three-quarters of the sodium people consume comes from processed andrestaurant foods.

The dietary guidelines, which are updated every five years, currently suggest a limit of 1,500 mgs forpeople with hypertension, anyone over 40 years old and African-Americans, who are at greater riskfor high blood pressure – a group that represents about 70% of all adults.

Today, adults consume more than 3,400 mgs of sodium on average, not including salt they use incooking or sprinkle on food from a shaker, more than twice the amount recommended for mostpeople, according to a recent survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Middle-aged men are eating on average about 54% more salt today than in the early 1970s; forwomen, consumption has jumped 67% in that time.

• The best way to reduce salt is to cut back on processed and restaurant foods, eat fresh produce,and reduce portion sizes.

• When you do buy processed foods, look for items with less than 300 mg of sodium per serving.

• Sodium levels can also vary widely among brands, so check labels carefully.

Bodies need some sodium to function properly, including maintaining the right balance of fluids,and excess sodium is usually kept in check by the kidneys. But if the kidneys can’t eliminate enoughsodium, the buildup of sodium can lead to an increase in blood volume, which in turn increasespressure in the arteries. High blood pressure, or hypertension, can lead to heart disease, stroke,kidney disease and other problems.
