Smithfield is owned by Chinese money so not surprising

Meat Plants

I read this entirely wrong and got excited. I was very close to ordering seed catalogs.

This annoys me.

Meat processing is a very essential American business. It annoys me that the company sold out to the Chinese.

Especially with that name. Smithfield sounds increbily western. Never expect that to be a Chinese company

All the local slaughter houses are booked through the end of the year. The real tragedy is big ag putting our local butcher shops out of business.

Sounds like they are doing very well now. Maybe time to expand.

They were bought by the Chinese fairly recently.

Sorry Cody. It looks like the closest thing around is that Walmart at exit 73. My closest Walmart is $3.24/lb. in central FL but I don't know how prices translate. I would guess they are a little lower close to you because of the cost of living.

Smithfield is Chinese owned, so it makes sense.
