1Opinion of the Court

GRIFFIS, J.,

for the Court.

¶ 1. Sanderson Farms, Inc. appeals the decision of the Mississippi Workers’ Compensation Commission, which granted Ralph Deering’s workers’ compensation claim. Deering was injured when he was attempting to load the wrapping foil in an Allpac machine, which is used to wrap packages of corn dogs. Sanderson Farms argues that Deering’s claim was not com-pensable under Mississippi Code Annotated Section 71-3-7 (Rev.2000). We find that the Commission’s decision was contrary to the overwhelming weight of the evidence presented. Therefore, we reverse and render.
