Farm Crime

"The Pigeon Ponzi"

Synopsis:

Farm Crime is a true crime documentary series exploring the largely unseen dark side of Canada’s agriculture industry. Rare sheep gone missing. Potatoes sabotaged with sewing needles. A multi-million-dollar pigeon breeding Ponzi scheme. Farm Crime approaches these stories with respectful curiosity, focusing on the people at the centre of the incidents, seeking answers, closure – and justice.

Episode Synopsis:
An entrepreneurial farmer called the Pigeon King peddles lucrative pigeon breeding contracts to farmers across North America, but investigative journalists suspect his deal may be too good to be true.
