Do they still have a packing plant driving all the “diversifying?”

Yep. 2 of them.

I thought so, but wasn't sure. The last time I was actually in SL, the natives were still being reassured by the big wheels that nothing could go wrong bringing in Laotians, or Mexicans, or Ruritanians, etc. I suppose if you were one of the ruling class, nothing actually did go wrong... at least nothing that mattered.

Nothing like a post-1970's packing plant to turn a town into a ****hole.

From Wikipedia:

Tyson Foods operates a large hog slaughterhouse, meat packing plant, and turkey processing plant in Storm Lake.

From 2010 census
The racial makeup of the city was
68.4% White, 4.4% African American,
0.4% Native American, 9.8% Asian, 0.9% Pacific Islander, 13.6% from other races, and 2.4% from two or more races.

Hispanic or Latino of any race were 36.1% of the population.

Hispanic or Latino was 21.05 and White 79.68 % in 2000 census-huge change for 10 years..
