Most Common Reasons

Tyson Foods is closing its Lexington, Nebraska beef plant (3,200 employees) and reducing a shift at its Amarillo, Texas facility (1,700 employees), affecting a total of 4,900 workers. The closures are driven by significant financial losses in the beef segment, projected at up to $600 million in fiscal year 2026 following a $720 million loss over the preceding two years, primarily due to dwindling U.S. cattle supplies at their lowest levels in nearly 75 years.
