There was a recent article about Tyson complaining that millennials aren't buying as much chicken and killing the company.

No, it's simply people not wanting to buy your overpriced bag of chicken.

How many years did they have record profits off chicken wings, a part that no one even wanted not that long ago?

I'm not going to spend $15 on a small bag of Tyson when I can go to Costco and get a 10lb bag for not much more.

And the Costco chicken is usually healthier with less added garbage.

Tyson at Kroger for breasts is $5.99/lb. Better quality chicken at Sam's is $2.68/lb.

I grew up on a hog operation.  None of the rural people out here complain.  It’s only the city people who moved to the country for “fresh air” and “quiet” who bitch, moan and complain.

We get what you’re saying, but it’s simply not how it works in small rural communities.

So, if you were there first, and a hog farm (foreign-owned, no less) moved in next door and stunk the place up, you'd be cool with that?  I wouldn't.

Yup.

Got hogs, turkeys, chickens and growing the cattle operation on my farm.  We grow it, keep some for ourselves and sell the rest as a custom pork/poultry/beef operation.  You buy the live animal, I take it to the local butcher for you and you pay the butcher fee.

We end up making more per animal in profit and it’s lower cost per lb for our customers.

All processed by Tyson, Smithfield, or con agra. People associate Tyson with chicken but its a major beef processor as well. Having been involved in grocery store management for years all your beef,pork and chicken, regardless of the label name shown, comes from the big three.

I get the sentiment, but those are american workers getting laid off. When they bought out the family that owned the. Years back, there were concerns about them shutting down production here. But they decided to scale up and they began to export a lot of pork. The town I live in the entire economy is centered around that company. Sure we would survive but that would throw a wrench in the spokes so to speak.

Everyone wants to be quick to throw out that edgy post, and I am with you on the Fuck China sentiment. But there is a bigger picture here.

And yes, critical infrastucture, food plants, and realestate should not be owned by foreign national companies.

If a property owner decides to sell farmland, why shouldn't they be allowed to sell it to the highest bidder? The whole notion that the government can limit what someone can do with their property doesn't seem right. Let the market decide the value of land, without artificial restrictions on who can participate in the market.

Dumb comment is dumb. I live about  9 miles from the plant in Indiana. They are the largest employer in this town. It’s all lower middle class white people that work there.

All the local farmers that provide grain for feed, white people.  

All the truck drivers, white people.

This notion because it’s owned by China and staffed by brown people so oh well is idiotic.

With illegals, etc., the population in the US is still on the rise.

More mouths to feed.

Veganism, vegetarianism, and insectism have not become the norm.

People are still eating and getting calories.

Consumer prices of beef, chicken, pork and fish are up.

The argument that demand is down, does not fit.

What's more strange about the Noel, MO closure is that its an Organic plant. It is one of the few plants filling the organic lines of chicken for both people and petrols (the "waste"). I wonder what all the Somali workers there will do now.

Its going to kill Noel though. There's two reasons anyone goes to Noel: they work at the chicken plant or somewhere the workers go (grocery store, restaurant across the street) or to float the river and camp.
