[edit] Reliability of Foster Farms as a source

Unfortunately, Foster Farms' advertisements are not completely reliable as a source of information about the company and its communities. For example, during the 1980s Foster Farms advertised that Livingston had only one stop-light. But instead of showing Livingston's actual stoplight, Foster Farms' advertisements showed a very lightly used stoplight at the crossing of two two-lane roads. In reality, Livingston's stop-light was the last stop-light on the busiest inter-city highway west of the Mississippi. (Source: The last U.S. national atlas.)

So, please double-check any information you find about Foster Farms on its web-site before adding it to the article. At the very least, it will need to be scrubbed into NPOV; it might also need to be corrected or enhanced to reflect other points of view.
