The Wall Street Journal’s Patrick Thomas reported that “Tyson Foods, America’s largest meat supplier, is planning to close one of its largest beef-processing plants in Nebraska at a time when a cattle shortage in the U.S. squeezes meatpacking companies. The Lexington, Neb., plant employs roughly 3,000 people and can sla-ghter almost 5,000 cattle a day, according to industry estimates.”
“Tyson is the first of the big four meatpacking companies that process 85% of beef in the U.S. to close a major plant during the current cattle supply crunch,” Thomas reported. “Meatpackers including Tyson have been losing hundreds of millions of dollars processing beef because of the lowest amount of cattle on U.S. pastures since the 1950s.”
