Good thing we gave all those tax breaks to the owners

If I’m reading this article correctly, this is a beef processing plant. I guess Tyson diversified out of making just chicken products?
I wish the article would go into more detail about there being “not enough cattle”. Thats the first I’ve heard of this.

Lowest since 1962.
