Tyson Foods closes Iowa pork plant indefinitely after coronavirus outbreak

“The closure has significant ramifications beyond our company, since the plant is part of a larger supply chain that includes hundreds of independent farmers, truckers, distributors and customers, including grocers,” Chief Executive Steve Stouffer said in a statement. “It means the loss of a vital market outlet for farmers and further contributes to the disruption of the nation's pork supply.”
