Another day, another fire at a food processing plant.
Chesapeake, Virginia – Firefighters responded to an industrial fire at Perdue Farms Saturday night.
“Chesapeake firefighters battled an industrial fire this evening at Perdue Farms in the South Norfolk area. Plant operators reported a fire in large soybean processing tank. Firefighters climbed multiple flights of stairs with hose and equipment to access the standpipe system. Water was applied and the fire brought under control in approximately one hour. Much work left here to overhaul and dump product from the tank. Solid work tonight by all involved. Special thanks to Company 8 from Norfolk Fire & Rescue.” the Chesapeake Fire Department said on Saturday.
According to WTKR, the damage from the fire will have little impact on the plant’s operations.
A small plane killed two people as it crashed near a General Mills plant in Georgia last Thursday night.
The recent plane crash near the General Mills plant comes after a string of food processing plants have been set ablaze across the United States over the past six months amid soaring food prices and historic inflation.
The FBI recently warned of possible cyber attacks on food plants in the US following a mysterious rash of fires.
What is going on?
There’s trouble with a capital T in river city.
My guess is that we’re all waiting for the 3rd plane to hit the Pentagon before reality slaps us in the face.
But then again, it’s only Monday.
Soybean feed, filled with glyphosate. Nasty.

Don’t worry about it. Snopes has declared this is normal and nothing to get wee-wee’d up about.
Protest of Prez Trump for Perdue support? Just sayin
Have heard of several recent food processing plant fires and explosions, but have not heard of one perp being arrested. Not even “persons of interest”.
The FBI is too busy persecuting the 1/6 trespassers to be bothered with the epidemic of attacks on the food processing industry.
Here is an example of a huge problem brewing in our country. Many people that live in rural areas want to get into homesteading and producing their own food. Problem is there are no longer hardly any local butcher shops that have the ability to kill live animals. The shops that are left are booked up sometimes 2 years in advance. So if I buy a 400lb calf to feed out it will take about 12 months to get that calf to butcher weight. You better have an appointment at the butcher shop before you even buy that calf. Also there are only about 3 companies that process meat and one of them is owned by the CCP. This leaves very few option unless you learn to butcher your own. However butchering your own is not legal if you want to sell meat to the public at the local farmers market. If these 3 companies that own all the meat packing plants have issues such as fires or break downs there will be an instant disruption to the food supply.
Then I haven’t even mentioned how the few packing companies are able to squeeze producers to reduce the price paid for live animals and screw the farmers while raising their prices and increasing their profits screwing the consumers.
Any illegal immigrants working at these foods processors?
Probably all illegal.
Nah, they are all Americanos....................er, Americans..............
In GA we have about 32 small meat processors. Granted many of them process game but there are one or two near where we just bought property that will process poultry and one that does beef as well. There is also a guy who raises his own cattle and processes on his farm we can buy from. We are fortunate that Georgia is an agricultural state.
This spate of “mishaps” appears to be very unlikely from a statistical standpoint. I mean, what is the probability of this many plant explosions, fires, etc happening in a relatively short period of time?
It is either the Chinese or our own FBI. (I suspect the FBI is the more probable answer.)
I used to work with these guys, when they could be trusted before they became the Democrat secret police.
Sounds like a great career opportunity for some urban slasher types....

FEAR PORN!
It worked for COVID why not our “food supply”.
SHARK WEEK!
0.07%. Less than 1% of plants have had fires.
Just like Covid cases, let’s have DAILY updates on the LATEST processing fires.
My theory, and I have zero evidence for this, is that Russia is using Directed Energy Weapons to attack our food facilities.
But I also think we are responding in kind. I think the military chemical plant near Moscow and the power plant in Eastern Russia were likely our retribution.
