So they are going to increase operations at the remaining processing plants, which will lead to overworking the equipment to the point of increased operational failures across the board. Inevitably there will be fires initiated by equipment failure that cause the destruction of those facilities.
The article says that they haven't been profitable and have had less production lately... why is this some sort of conspiracy? Businesses close down factories all the time.
In the face of spiking costs/shrinking supply, closing processing plants is reasonable. It's a symptom of a broader problem coming down the supply chain. This is a natural domino-effect. Those egg price spikes from a couple news cycles ago are the bleeding edge of the chicken shortage shutting down plants now.
Chicken shortages, though? That's where you start theorizing.
Look into the large culls in chicken flocks (ostensibly to stop avian flu) as well as reports of tainted feed which keeps hens from laying back in February. You know, the news items that coincided with the peer reviewed 2021 Chinese study that egg proteins help boost Covid resistance-- that theory the AP's deboonked.
Nothing to see here. Get into your pod and have some more bugs.
It's because Tyson doesn't have enough chickens to process.
Tyson isn't going to pay to have ten or twenty facilities processing at 80%, they consolidate production and mothball plants until stocks of live chickens increase.
Those plants run 24/7/365 most of the time and any downtime from lack of raw material means they are losing money keeping them open.
LOL at thinking one company closing 2 processing facilities is being done to create an 'artificial shortage' of chicken. Economic illiteracy is sad though.
Tyson has consistently had issues with running its factories. I recall they had some sort of employment fiasco years ago because of their hiring practices?

Don't forget the carpal tunnel and other repetitive motion injuries and the dismembered fingers of the overworked line.

Inflation must have affected their costs. Made them tighten the belt.

Buying generic store-brand yardbird has always been the better choice, in terms of quality and price.
Now I'm automatically wise for never having bought a Tyson chicken.
You might be buying Tyson products and not even know it, they process a hundred different house brands for grocery chains that slap their name on it.
There are only so many chicken processing plants in this country, most grocery chains use products packaged by the huge processors for them.
That figures.

I found it on yahoo and it came from the AP. Foxbusiness was the compromise since Archive was down.
