None were arson as far as I know.
These kinds of fires have always been common, and there are more of these plants than ever because we have a larger population than ever.
I’m still waiting for ONE solid report of arson. Insurance companies investigate such things, obviously.
*crickets*
Also, last fall, three seperate, simultaneous early morning hay barn fires, within a couple miles of each other, Tillamook. Only one made local news as a single small article.
Witnessed by medical worker on way to work.
” . . . it could be a bunch of old buildings that are falling apart and should have been replaced before old age failures.”
I wonder how many of these food processing factories are being rebuilt in Mexico, Costa Rica, or Asia instead of the US.

The origin of hay barn fires is easy to find.
55 chicken, turkey, and duck farms burned and killed millions of birds in less than 3 months....
Coincidence????????
Correction...Not burned...It only says “destroyed”...
Avian flu, I guess..
Tallys from NFPA website, 2015-2019
Fires - Industrial, Utility, Defense, Agriculture, Mining: 2,953 (738 per year)
Fires -Manufacturing, processing: 5308. (1,327 per year)
NFPA mentions that about 25% of fires are traceable to arson.
The counts include way more than just food processing facilities, which makes them somewhat difficult to interpret as an answer to the question: "Are we under systemic attacks on our food supply".
Actuaries could answer that question with high confidence, given access to the source data. No such data or analysis has been made public. We have heard bland reassurances from insurance company consultants that "100 incidents" is not an indicator when we have 5,300 fires per year. That could be true.
My personal assessment is that there have been some opportunistic attacks by do-it-yourself Jihadis, or "Environmentalist" groups. They are not organized for repeating or sustaining those attacks and I am not sure there have been enough of them to move the indicator needles very much.
Food processing facilities are filled with dangerous fire conditions that require a skilled and diligent workforce to keep under control. I believe that workforce skills and disciplines have been declining (especially since the COVID lockdowns) and are a factor in the increasing losses.
The government does not appear to be investigating such matters at all.
I’m sure the investigators knew. They just didn’t tell anybody.
Probably arson, prove it wrong.
Excellent. While that does not provide an exact answer, it certainly helps put things into better perspective. Thank you very much.
Weren’t there also two or three private plane crashes into food processing plants in a short span of time?
Likewise. This could be statistically significant or not.
Only 100?
Come on, man! Haven’t you ever heard of “coincidences”???
WEF needs a fixn
Just read a fascinating essay by Naomi Wolf, and am in the midst of her “Bodies of Others” work - it’s almost as if there is something afoot that hates humans.
Lots of fried chicken and omelets!
Did you see where that school board member in charge of cafeterias and such in Chicago area stole 1.5 million dollars worth of chicken wings??? I mean, that’s a few dozen wings!!!!!
“Probably arson, prove it wrong.”
That’s not the way things work. No one has to prove a negative.
