Tyson Foods closes plants; 3,200 jobs cut
Tyson Foods is closing two beef facilities and eliminating over 3,200 jobs amid a severe US cattle shortage, the company announced on August 13. The closures include plants in Joslin, Illinois, and Eagle Mountain, Utah, while a potential sale is being sought for the Pasco, Washington facility. Tyson aims to streamline its beef operations around Dakota City, Nebraska; Holcomb, Kansas; and Amarillo, Texas. The move comes as the US cattle herd dwindles to a near 75-year low due to drought and reduced cattle imports.
