Jim,
 Two different companies. Smithfield's Chicken and BBQ, Inc, and 
Smithfield's of Virgina (parent of Murphy-Brown Farms, Inc of NC). 
You're referring to Smithfield's Foods.

Fun processing fact:

The largest pork processing facility in NC is in Turkey, NC, between 
Warsaw, NC (exit 264 on 40 towards Wilmington), and Clinton, NC. Turkey 
does NOT have any poultry production or processing facilities. Oh and 
they are the home of Elizabeth's Pecan Products.

Hey, when you're from the area, you learn lots of bizarre trivia.
