WK Kellogg Co. is permanently closing its cereal facility in Omaha, Nebraska. This closure will eliminate 451 positions through phased layoffs. Initial job cuts are expected in July 2026, with the plant ceasing operations in August 2026. The company announced this move as part of a broader supply-chain modernization plan. Ferrero acquired WK Kellogg Co. in September 2025, though the closure plan predates this acquisition.

The Tyson beef plant/facility closes on January 20, 2026 in Lexington Nebraska town of 11k. This is per AP. Not cool.

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.”
