OKLAHOMA CITY — Most people asked to define “critical infrastructure” would probably think first about things like airports, roads, bridges or flood control dams vital to keeping life flowing at a normal, well-managed pace.
Probably not many would think about meat processing plants.
But, Derrell Peel would. According to the professor of agribusiness at Oklahoma State University, the essential nature of meat processing facilities has been made obvious recently by the COVID-19 pandemic. Shutdowns and slowdowns at numerous plants have put kinks in the nation’s complex food supply chain that will affect everyday consumers and inflict billions of dollars’ worth of damages on industries vital to Oklahoma and the rest of the country.
That is all jacked up.
