Tyson Foods to Close Four Chicken Processing Plants in the U.S.

Summary:

• Tyson Foods is shutting down four chicken processing plants in the U.S.
• The decision follows the company's third quarter earnings release.
• The Arkansas plant, with over 300 employees, will close in October.
• Three additional plants in Indiana, Missouri, and Virginia are also slated for closure.

Following the release of its third quarter earnings, Tyson Foods has announced the closure of four of its chicken processing plants located in different parts of the U.S.

One of the affected facilities is the Tyson plant in Arkansas, which has been operating for over 50 years and currently employs more than 300 workers. This plant is scheduled to shut down in early October. Employees were informed about this decision yesterday morning. Additionally, three other plants are set to be closed as well—specifically, one in Indiana and two in Missouri. However, it's important to note that the three Tyson plants located in Virginia, including the one on the eastern shore, will not be affected by these closures and will continue their operations.

The closures are expected to have an impact on the local communities where these plants are located, as well as on the affected employees.
