Poultry profits lift Taylor County community
Emory Parr, a World War I veteran from Crowell, built the Crowell Poultry Farm and Hatchery, expanding from 300 chicks in 1930 to a regional cooperative supplying more than 400 farms. The venture spurred new homes, education, and mortgages paid, with Parr earning over 1.75 million dollars in cash profits for neighbors across Taylor and adjacent counties. Parr and six neighbors formed a cooperative that grew to include 15 families, with routes across Taylor, Crawford, Macon, and Talbot counties and two long-serving drivers. Parr’s daughter Margaret Agnes and wife Rachel helped anchor a life built around the poultry business and community uplift.
