All of tysons explanations as to why they are closing is nothing but a load of bull. I personally live in the country and guess what i live next to a cattle ranch. Short supply of cattle bull, their are 10,000 head next to me and three miles down the road are another 5,000. so where is the shortage? Truth is they want to make the price of beef so high that noone can afford the price of hambugar like its not enough now. I really hope that the owner of tyson sleeps well at night in his big house knowing that he has just cost 2000 people and their familes their lively hood and their future,someone needs to let him live from paycheck to paycheck to see just how it feels to worry about how you are going to pay your bills.

is it just me or are all of us being snowbaalled into thinking that this is such a kind and loving thing that we are doing for the people. well let me tell you it is good for them and the end of emporia as we know it if this goes through no woman or girl will be safe to walk the city streets in the day and absoultly not at night.this is not why i moved my family to a small town where the could feel safe. tb will be on the rise with bring them here and how will the local health department be able to handle the overflow. will we have to build special schools for their children to learn if so we are the ones that are going to have higher taxes. why dosen't the councel look around and notice the citizens of lyon county that are having a hard time with their precription medications because they dont have enough money left out of their social securiety checks to pay for them. remember charity begins at home and home is where it should stay

First i would like to address eddison2 you are opinion a very crass and ignorant person i never said that the 2 small ranches that i mentioned would take care of all of the the needs of the plant. All that i was saying is that there is not a shortage of cattle in this area if in less then 5 miles from my home there are that many you do the math. As for you making a good living and having a nice home I am very happy for you put if it wern't for people like my husband working in jobs that people like you think are below them this country would stop altogether. when will you wake up and smell the coffee i have lived around this for the last 20 years and yes they are trying to hike the price of meat now farmers have to pay more to ship their cattle to another plant that will increse the price and tyson will ship the meat back to emporia for hambugar there goes the price some more.And as for planning to transfer people to other plants you have to be qualified in a grade 5 or higher to be able to there are not that many who will qualify for the transfer. Most of the employees are going to have to go on unemployment and foodstamps just to be able to live till we can find other jobs if you can even get one.
On Tyson will eliminate slaughter in Emporia
