Smithy Foods announced the closure of 35 hog farm operations in Mizzouri...

Why is Smithfield closing hog farms in Missouri?


The U.S. meat industry has struggled with declining profits and reduced demand from consumers squeezed by inflation and higher interest rates. Amid spiraling feed and labor costs, meat companies have struggled to predict demand for their products.2 days ago

Smithfield Foods Closing 35 Hog Farm Sites in Missouri​

It sounds like Misery did a major crackdown on illegal immigration.

Sounds like a red state issue.

Strange....I thought only "woke" companies were failing.

How in the world could a company that isn't woke have layoffs?

Nope, not at all.

Last week we were greeted with news that two Missouri Tyson Food plants were permanently closing.

This week Briggs and Stratton announced layoff at their Popular Bluff facility.

Sounds like the economy is really booming, doesn't it.

"For the second time in as many weeks, a large U.S. company has delivered unwelcome news to production workers in Southeast Missouri.

Wauwatosa, Wisconsin-based Briggs & Stratton will layoff 202 plant employees in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, beginning Saturday, Oct. 14.

On Aug. 7, Tyson Foods announced it plans a permanent furlough Friday, Oct. 13, of nearly 700 workers at its poultry production facilities in Dexter, Missouri.

While there is a finality to Tyson's decision to close its Dexter operation, Briggs & Stratton's Poplar Bluff plant manager Mark Melloy told www.manufacturing.net the company hopes the economy will improve and workers can be recalled."

Not surprised.

Missouri is one of the red states that scores high in murder rates, obesity and low in education.

I'd they don't police, don't invest in education and public parks/activity related infastructure/health education; and the savings isn't enough to keep tax rates low enough for businesses, where the hell is the money going?

Not really when both companies effect all 50 states

ADA the economy sucks and the feds are playing games with the numbers bitch!

The economy is booming. 3% unemployment, with rising wages is a booming economy any way you slice it. It's only a bad econoy for losers. Especially losers with little education, no job skills, and live in rural areas. For everybody else, it's doing just fine.

Theres no shortage of people eating chicken. Whatever reason Tyson closed those plants in Missouri doesn't have anything to do with the economy.

The Briggs& Stratton plant makes sense because small engine tools and equipment are converting from gasoline powered, to battery powered.

Times change, and you either change with it or die.

We're doing great in Texas. Sounds like a you problem.

“We’re” has nothing to do with how great Texas is doing. In fact, it’s the exact opposite.

So you think that Biden is attacking the red states economies?

No, that's something trump would do. Biden is above that. Here in Nebraska , definitely a red state, we got more than our share of new starts from the economic package Biden got through Congress with bipartisan support. Business is booming , wages are really up , thank GOD , and the only thing holding us back is we need more workers. So if you're willing to work and are decent people maybe we could help each other out here. Check us out.

Seeing little progress, the state under new Democratic Gov. Tony Evers significantly scaled down the deal after Trump left the White House in 2021, reducing the tax credits Foxconn was eligible to receive up to $80 million if the company created 1,500 jobs in a tech and manufacturing campus.

Trump — wielding a golden shovel for the groundbreaking — called the project the “Eighth Wonder of the World.” Instead, the orb is the butt of local jokes.





MOUNT PLEASANT, Wis. — A 30-minute drive from the site of this week’s Republican debate in Milwaukee stands a mysterious glass globe that has come to symbolize the failure of one of Republican front-runner and former president Donald Trump’s big promises.


The 100-foot-tall sphere is one of few buildings on a largely empty plot of land bigger than three Central Parks. The globe’s owner, Taiwanese manufacturer Foxconn, calls it a high-performance computing data center. But local residents say they’ve seen few signs of life at the building. Last year, a local catering company announced that outside groups could rent the space for events.

The orb and the three partially used buildings nearby are nothing like the giant manufacturing campus with 13,000 high-tech jobs that Trump and Foxconn promised five years ago, when Trump — wielding a golden shovel for the groundbreaking — called the project the “Eighth Wonder of the World.” Instead, the orb is the butt of local jokes.


“It just looks to me like sort of a low-rent Epcot Center. … What almost turns it into comedy is that they were renting it out for banquets,” said Kelly Gallaher, head of a local government watchdog group.

Trump vowed industrial jobs coming back "Don’t sell your house" -- Trump's betrayal

In Ohio, memories of the episode remain raw: As president in 2017, Donald Trump traveled to the eastern part of the state and vowed that industrial jobs are “coming back,” adding, “Don’t sell your house.” Less than two years later, the General Motors plant in Lordstown closed down, and its workers screamed betrayal.


Trump’s broken promise has created a big opportunity for President Biden right now, due to another major labor dispute unfolding in the same region. The United Auto Workers union is demanding that workers at an Ultium Cells plant near Lordstown — a closely watched GM-backed project that manufactures electric vehicle battery cells — get wages and working standards that match those of conventional autoworkers, and UAW wants Biden to get much more active in publicly pushing for an equitable resolution.

If Biden helps achieve better wages for these Ohio workers, he can boast of restoring good manufacturing jobs in the same region where Trump has long exploited the social decay of deindustrialization. He can demonstrate that workers have a big stake in transitioning to a decarbonized future. But if these EV manufacturing jobs turn out to be substandard, workers in Ohio and elsewhere might come to see the broader decarbonization push as a threat to their livelihoods.

So, your point is that not completing the keystone pipeline doesn’t affect world oil prices.
