Oh no!! Where will all those Somali and African muslims find work?
I live near Springdale Arkansas and I interface with many employees of all tiers there.
Tyson isn’t a corrupt southern company. That’s repetitive. They are a southern based company and by that virtue they are corrupt.
These plants employ many lower class people. Corydon, for instance, is going to suffer but luckily is close enough to Louisville that other work can be found.
The places in Missouri or taking a huge loss there. I wish them the best.
In the Tyson areas the Muslim and “backwards” immigrants don’t work. They aren’t affected outside of their theft and mugging victims now not having any money to take.
When it comes to their farms I also know quite a few chicken farmers here. We have Simmons chicken, Ozark mountain and George’s chicken. The farmers have a choice of contracts.
The farmers prefer the Tyson contracts for the money. That said, the truth of chicken farming is far departed from what we all think.
Chicken farms are secured. No one is allowed in or out. Even the farmers get permission to enter chicken houses, and it’s is stringently monitored. If any disease is detected in chickens (they are small so more of them occupy a space than other livestock) hundreds of thousands of chickens must be culled instead of the 100 or so cows that would have to be.
It’s a nightmare. The whole food chain is a nightmare.
Trucking is a nightmare too. And running retail. And policing. Everything is a stupid, unsustainable cluster %$#!
Well let’s see....Southwest City Mo has a big processing plant as does Simmons plant between Decatur and Gentry AR. Then there is Siloam Springs processing plants....
Lots of wrecks at the Simmons plant there since they put the new stop light in on Hwy 59.
OH, OH, I KNOW! Transfer them to the Tyson’s hog operations in Guymon OK! They will fit right in!
These hog operations used to be in the NW Ark area but the stench was so bad they were “persuaded” to move to Guymon OK where there are millions of acres to spread the waste, and few people to complain “Where the wind comes sweeping down the plains...”
