This could be good news or bad news for Sioux Falls, depends how you look at it;
The John Morrell & Co. plant in Sioux City, Iowa, will close this spring, according to a copyright story on the Sioux City Journal’s Web site.
It could mean the Sioux Falls plant will be closing to, or it could mean expansion. I spoke with a 20 year retired Morrell’s employee a few weeks ago and asked him what he thought. He pretty much said the Sioux Falls plant is a money maker and doesn’t see the sense in closing it because they produce value added products (I think I got that right) it is pretty much vacuum packed meat that has a shelf life of 60 days.
It will be interesting to watch this story develop.
