Tyson Foods is shutting down two beef facilities and cutting more than 3,200 jobs as the US cattle supply crisis continues to squeeze the meat-processing industry. Tyson Foods is making another major move to shrink and restructure its beef business as the United States faces one of its most severe cattle shortages in decades.
The meat giant is ending operations at its beef facility in Joslin, Illinois, and its case-ready beef facility in Eagle Mountain, Utah. The closures are expected to affect about 3,200 workers combined. Tyson is also seeking a buyer for its beef facility in Pasco, Washington.
