You can thank the Fed and ethanol mandates for a lot of the corn price pressure that Smithfield is under right now. There’s way too much corn going in our gas pumps instead of in various bellies (pork, human, whatever).
Still, as a Virginia kid who grew up on Smithfield (and Gwaltney) bacon, it’s sad to see a legendary Virginia icon get bought out by a Chicom company.

First, the ChiComs have bought up our natural resources. Now they are buying up our food. They have plenty of Made in the USA money to buy anything they want.

I can’t say that I blame them. They want to preserve the value of their dollars before they become toilet paper........

Interesting.... Is this a move to get better quality food to China at manufacturer’s cost since they have destroyed so much of their farmland through inadequate environmental protections? Or is it a move to place their own locally grown pork products into the American food marketplace?
In either case I see some “unintended consequences” looming on the horizon.

I promise to be more selective when shopping for my pork chops.
To: Mr. Quarterpanel
Sweet and sour pork!........

Soon Smithfield’s new motto will be “we glow in the dark”.

"Smithfield owns brands such as Armour, Farmland and its namesake." So now we can look forward to plastic, toxic ingredients, and other food contaminants? Sweet!!
To: Moose4
I agree. Smithfield is a great corporate and responsible member of Smithfield Virginia. We spend a long weekend there once a year at Smithfield Station and love the community.
To: Red Badger
Smithfield Foods Inc. has a very nasty habit of hiring illegal immigrants. They’ve had many ICE raids. This company isn’t the greatest to begin with. I’ll just continue to make my meat and egg purchases from my local farmer.
