There he found thousands of chickens and began delivering them to the Midwest. He incorporated it in 1947 as Tyson Feed and Hatchery, Inc. and began selling baby chicks, feed, and the transportation of chickens to market. Ever since then his company was slowly gaining more and more popularity, and in 1963 John’s son decided to make the company public. Unfortunately shortly after in 1967 John and his wife, Helen, lost their lives in a terrible automobile-train accident. After his father’s death, Don took his place as chairman and CEO.
