Gonna be a black swan for Christmas, Tyson is shutting down the Nebraska plant with its 5,000 head per day capacity

Lexington has a population of 11,200, and the plant there employs 3200. That town is going to lose over a quarter of its population in jobs. Gonna be another dead small town before long.

They're blaming it on the beef shortage that they caused. Buying fats for .96 a lb and selling them for record profits during covid, then abandon the market when it turns.

They can probably just deport all the workers, so no benefits need paid.

Is Tyson china owned?

Probably true. Wife took a job at a Tyson chicken plant in KY when we were dating. She lasted a day. Besides being a nasty job the Mexican hitting on her all day made her quite uncomfortable.
The entire staff was Mexicans. A Ice raid would shut the place down.

Call it in, screw Tysons

Nebraska is only 4.6% black and much of that is Africans who moved there to process beef. Nebraska is only 12% Hispanic. The skewed demographics for the small town tells you foreigners moved there to work.

Food processing plants typically employ a lot of migrant workers. Once they're all run off who will do that work?

In Lexington, Nebraska, there soon won't be a plant to be run off from. The plant is closing. The aliens will just be more of a burden than they already are if they remain. Even working, low level aliens, cost the US taxpayer much more than they pay in in taxes.



We are better off without them.

Next up, Storm Lake, IA.

I'm waiting on a ICE raid in the hog confinements in my county.

Non migrant workers! The people who worked these plants before.
If not good riddance to these companies. And their indentured servants

Ol dad

Im hauling feed to cattle destined for that plant...as we speak.


It might change my life 3 industries upstream from it.




Life's about change.

They are either retired or dead. Good luck with getting present generations to do that type of work. Maybe if they get hungry enough but I doubt it.

Tyson has been about poultry. I was surprised when they bought IBP out. Beef is ridiculous now with good burger over $7 per pound
Maybe this will lower beef prices and/or encourage more chicken/turkey consumption.

Americans. The new Cooperative beef plant in Nebraska proved it a few months ago. That had lines of Americans waiting to interview.

IBP paid good wages. When Tyson bought them out wages were cut. I know a sack full of people that worked at IBP in Emporia. Most all quit when wages were cut. Tyson started hiring illegals.

Which is why they cut wages. If there weren't a steady stream on illegals to work cheaper, that wouldn't have happened.
