A Tyson Foods pork plant in Madison and a Cargill beef plant in Schuyler announced last Monday that they would temporarily shut down production to deep clean the plants, the Omaha World-Herald reported. The closures follow the news last week of Tyson’s beef processing plant in Dakota City that sidelined some 4,300 workers.

The latest plant closures will affect more than 3,000 workers and will likely slow the ability of producers to get hogs and cattle to slaughter. Last week, President Donald Trump acted to classify the plants as critical infrastructure.
