Back in October of 2025 Tyson Foods paid $85 million in largest pork price-fixing settlement ever. So its very likely they are closing this plant down to price fix beef.

I worked for a Tyson DC briefly as a reach truck operator, horrible company, on my first day they bragged about all the jobs theyve been cutting with automation and how they plan to replace a portion of their forklift operators with a automated in-aisle system next year. They were so proud of this.
