An NPR Planet Money episode traces how the Georgia Department of Agriculture's Georgia Dock chicken price index came under suspicion. It follows the official who ran the index and the investor interest that drew attention to it.
The episode reviews a past benchmark manipulation case; it describes history rather than a new driver of chicken prices.
