This is awful.
Practical resources for Nebraska town rocked by beef plant closing
State agencies mobilize rapid response teams to help affected families navigate unemployment benefits, job searches and financial aid programs.
It is a devastating loss. For Lexington, Neb., a town with a population of about 11,000, losing the Tyson Foods beef processing plant in January that employs around 3,200 workers is a deadly blow. For farmers, losing a marketing avenue and beef slaughter capacity causes real angst.
The closure, set to take place Jan. 20, affects local farmers and ranchers who were selling to the plant, which has a slaughter capacity at about 5,000 head per day. It impacts workers losing their jobs, and their families.
