It would be interesting to compare those statistics with similar periods over time, but it does seem very odd. My son worked briefly at an ADM plant, and they drilled into them that there was really dangerous explosive fire potential in their grain processing.This seems too weird to be a coincidence, no? So many incidences at food processing plants the last 18 months.

Hot pockets plant?? Guessing it was someone who had one the first time and burnt their mouth on a untasty brick they call a hot pocket.This seems too weird to be a coincidence, no? So many incidences at food processing plants the last 18 months.

My grandpa worked his whole 50 year career at Wilson in Cherokee. Then a couple years after he retired they cut his pension and left him hanging the last 15 years of his life. Not a fan.Fire is what destroyed the largest employer in my hometown of Albert Lea - Wilson/Farmstead, a meat packing plant - many years ago. It was union, and back in the day a man could work there and make enough to raise a big family.

That place was nasty and no community support from it. Austin and Albert lea couldn’t be much different although they had the same industry as their backbone. Mower county has one of the largest foundations in the area confined to its border and building it up, Freeborn is just getting nastier.Fire is what destroyed the largest employer in my hometown of Albert Lea - Wilson/Farmstead, a meat packing plant - many years ago.

Tyson held the town hostage until 2019. They shut the plant down and 450 people lost their jobs in 2014. Some food group tried to run it in 2019 and ran out of money… Lopez foods bought it for 5-6 million to get it running with 50 ish employees. I would like to see it get back to 450 ish… the town went on rapid decline in 2014. Businesses can’t stay open long, the only true department store is Dollar General.

Side note, I've been told Tyson bought that Wilson factory in Cherokee and is just holding it. Last I had heard they were refusing to sell the facility, presumably to prevent any competitor from acquiring it. Cherokee was already struggling to stay afloat without Tyson hamstringing the job market...
Are there any respectable food processing companies?!
