Workers at the Perry facility officially learned of the planned closure on Monday, according to the Des Moines Register. The plant reportedly has a workforce of more than 1,200.

For the record Perry, Iowa has a population of about 7,800.

In 2023, Tyson Foods indicated six chicken processing facilities would close permanently, and more recently, the company added a pair of "case ready value-added" beef plants to the list of closures, according to the company’s first-quarter earnings report. The shuttering of those facilities, which are located across six states, is meant to "optimize asset utilization."

But not to worry, Tyson foods also wants to hire 52,000 "asylum seekers".

For 500lb class. The rest are all down.
Which translate to us consumers paying record high prices for beef.

Down .03% from a record high in one particular class of beef still results in record high prices of beef paid at the supermarket or McDonalds

The price of McDonalds is now unaffordable except for the upper middle class
