Description
Appellants Tyson Foods, Inc., and The Pork Group, Inc., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tyson, appeal the order of the Pope County Circuit Court finding that an arbitration agreement in contracts they executed with Appellees, who are hog farmers, lacks mutuality of obligation and, thus, is unenforceable. This case was certified to this court as involving an issue requiring clarification or development of the law; hence, our jurisdiction is pursuant to Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 1-2(b)(5). We find no error and affirm. During a period from 1988 through 1991, Appellants actively recruited potential hog farmers. Appellees, the majority of whom are Arkansas farmers, entered into contracts, agreeing to raise live hogs for the exclusive benefit of Appellants. Pursuant to these ""swine"" contracts, Appellants provided swine, feed, medication, and other services to the Appellee farmers. In exchange, Appellees agreed to properly house and nourish the swine until such time that they were ready to be shipped to ""finishing"" plants, which were located outside the State. Appellants, however, retained title to the swine at all times.
