 Topic: Tyson Chicken factory
Posted: 07 Aug 2023 at 6:20pm |
If the volume of chicken, pork and beef are all down........ WHAT are people eating ??
--------
Plant closuresIn March, the company announced the closure of one chicken processing plant in Glen Allen, Virginia, and another in Van Buren, Arkansas. Altogether, it laid off nearly 1,700 workers as part of the closure. Monday’s announcement brings the tally up to six closures announced this year. “The facilities that we are closing… [are] typically smaller in scale and in need of major capital to make them viable,” said King. He credited automation, among other factors, for allowing the company to close facilities while maintaining the right amount of supply. Tyson is not sharing the number of jobs impacted by the four closures announced today, a representative told CNN Monday. The company is seeing challenges in other parts of the business, as well. Its pork volumes and prices both fell. Beef prices rose, but volumes also fell. Tyson may take action on that side of the business, King said. “I’m not telling you that we’re not looking at beef and pork in the same manner that we have looked at chicken,” he told analysts. “We’re evaluating everything.” Tyson (TSN) reported quarterly sales declined 3%, compared to the same period last year. |

Beans and ramen noodles. Inflation is causing a lot of families to cut back on their grocery purchases.

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

A person has to really question if the economy is good like they are telling us.
With the bankruptcy of Yellow, 30,000 lost jobs; more Tyson layoffs today;Rubbermaid factory in Winfield KS announced layoffs earlier this week

One on Noel Missouri just closed.
They built a new state of the art facility in this county in Green Forrest.
Several other small plants on the area s slowed production and transferred workers to Green Forrest.
I thought JBS bought out the Tyson beef plants???

The economy is not nearly as rosie as being reported. The closure of Yellow should surprise no one. Yellow had been slowly circling the drain for over a decade, buying out the competition that is was not even for sale, thus required a premium price, down turn in the economy, and company was toast.

This isn't all of it but it's certainly a big part. The new word in the chicken business for the last few years has been MEGA. Mega plants, mega feed mills, mega houses. There was a mega feed mill built close to us and that shut the old feed mill we used to get feed from down. The plant that we sell to was built some time in the 20's so I wouldn't be surprised to see a mega plant go in somewhere before to long and shut down some of the smaller plants

I thought with the covid closures of beef and pork plants everyone was talking smaller was better.Yes corporate greed has no care of anything but the profits.
I thought all of Tyson was owned by foreigners. I was thinking JBS or the Chinese that bought Smithfield pork. I just know none of them our are friends, like the Drovers Journal keeps telling me they are pardners to livestock producers.

Not sure who owns Tyson but I don't think it's JBS. At least not the poultry side. I know JBS owns Pilgrims.

A lot of hogs raised in the midwest 35 years ago were bought at Kansas City and St Joe and a few country buying stations along the Union Pacific like at Marysville, Kansas .....thse hogs were loaded on a train and shipped to Clougherty Packing co in California and branded Farmer John Meats. Smithfield has since bought out Farmer John

" Smithfield has since bought out Farmer John" My farm name at the farmers market is "Farmer Johns" I started getting emails from people asking about the company or complaining about something. It didn't take long to discover the Famer John meat company had a similar email address. I haven't heard anything for a few years so maybe getting bought out changed something.
