I do find it confusing if people are moving to lower priced meats ..like chicken...where or why is Tyson really doing this?
Have you researched the history of this company? Major player in America’s demise. Corruption to the core.
ROTFL. Oh man....
Not extensively. I seem to recall they employed many ‘undocumented workers’
I always credited Tyson with keeping Clintoon Inc. in business.
My extended family that used to be in the chicken business (for eggs and meat) said that corporate regulations for chicken comfort kept making it more costly to run a chicken house. What we today would call ESG policies.
A company makes a profit on what it sales, so, to increase profits, it decreases what it sales.
Must be a new truth from the woke MBA colleges.
In 1995, the phrase “Eat Mor Chikin” first appeared on a billboard in Atlanta, Ga. Painted by a pair of mischievous cows....
We will shortly be paying the same price for boneless chicken breasts as we pay for NY strip steaks, around fifteen dollars a pound.
That’s the reason. Scarcity of supply.
They MIGHT be moving the production further east. Like into eastern NC. I remember during the Great Recession there was a huge amount of construction of chicken houses in eastern NC. East of Raleigh around Goldsboro. I was told back then it would move the chickens closer to the Northeast US and potential EXPORT to Europe.
So, maybe they do not need the processing plants as much in the middle part of the country anymore.
Perot was right.
That fire in SC cost 25 lives back in the 80’s. Mostly blacks. Jesse Jackson kept reminding us as a POTUS candidate. Fire exits were chained up blocking escape. Why didn’t any employees call the fire department beforehand?
I wouldn’t read too much into this. Tyson owns 123 food processing plants, so this represents about 3% of that total.
Plants get old, equipment gets outdated, the value of the land rises, plants get moved and replaced. Competition grows.
There could be all kinds of reasons for them to do this, and none of them doomsday-worthy.
Bug burgers, oh boy.
True. I noticed Costco had whole chicken @ $15.00 each in a 2 pac last week.
If you’re selling less than your producing and sales are resisting your attempts to grow, then you reduce product. Even in the frozen chicken market excess product costs money.
TYSON heavily supported Bill Clinton when he ran for Governor & President.
I NEVER bought another Tyson product.
Oh no!! Where will all those Somali and African muslims find work?
Ain't that the truth!!
