Supposedly Smithfield (Chinese owned) sabotaged them with pricing and then now with COVID they were refusing to process any of our local companies pigs. Luckily the feed mill is staying in business as well as the turkey and other operations, but still half a thousand jobs just evaporated. I've toured this facility and the owner is passionate about his employees, there are entire families that work at this company.

Another supposedly (I don't know first hand any of this) is that our local company tried to sell the hog operation even at a big discount to try and save the jobs but no one was interested (either because of COVID or because they are waiting on the fire sale)
