Texas, Alaska, Florida and Iowa all being punished by rules and funding by the republicans and dems who enable this targeting.
And Corydon Indiana..this month.
Many workers will be let go.
What caused this and what if anything did the feds have to do with it? I don’t want to know, but I want to know.
Cheaper to get it from China, I suppose.

Meatless SNAP: Iowa bill would cut meat, poultry and more from food assistance program

I don’t know if the meatless bill covers mealworms, crickets and cockroach milk.
Why closing? Iowa one of few remaining normal states.
Used to live right near there.....Was originally an Oscar Mayer plant built in the 60’s I believe.
Older facility, likely out of state and local incentives. Tyson has many thousands of ‘immigrant’ employees at other Iowa locations.
...two things stand out about the plant: its age, at 61 years for the main facility, and, according to an industry analyst, its size, which doesn't lend itself to an efficiency-increasing second shift.With such diversity, Biden will probably step in and stop the closure. Or pay each diverse person laid off $100,000.At the same time, Iowa's nation-leading pork industry is coming off its worst downturn in the past 25 years, and Tyson at the end of fiscal 2023 said it had lost $128 million on its pork segment.
Tyson didn't announce any other closures in March, but Perry isn't the first plant to close recently. Plants in Jacksonville, Florida, and Columbia, South Carolina, closed at the start of 2024. Six Tyson plants closed in 2023.
The plant's heavily immigrant workforce also has helped make Perry one of the most diverse communities in Iowa. The U.S. Census shows that nearly a third of the city's 8,000 people identify as Hispanic or Latino and that almost 19% are foreign born.
I think of Tyson and chicken, not pork. Evidently they have a marketing problem.
Perry may return to being an English-speaking community
The Chinese will buy it. Just Tyson agreed to do secretly, they are an evil company founded and run by scumbags.
Indeed I can see the fine print on cans from other plants THAT WASN’T PORK.
