A longtime staple of the Los Angeles community will close its doors next year, citing escalating costs to operate.
The Farmer John meatpacking plant, located in Vernon for more than 90 years, is expected to cease all operations in the early part of 2023 as the parent company, Smithfield Foods, Inc., plans to move most of their business located on the West Coast to different regions.
"Smithfield is taking these steps due to the escalating cost of doing business in California," a statement released early Friday morning said.
They said that customers on the West Coast would still receive services and product from their operations located in the Midwest, as they also look for "strategic options to exit its farms in Arizona and California," as well as decreasing their sow herd in Utah.

Mexican pork production is very high, but their domestic demand is even higher. I wonder if they would take millions of wild hogs off our hands? Initially they wouldn’t taste very good, but after a few weeks eating good food in a feed lot, probably a lot better.
Of course, they would still need some industrial grade processing, but they might end up with palatable pork products, at a fraction of the price of domestic pig pork.

Just how much Carbon will be reduced with this move? You know the methane levels will fall.
Lots of food processing plants are owned by China...
BINGO !!! We have a winner !!!
Smithfield Foods, Inc is owned by the ChiCom Government. Purchased outright.
They also own AgriPro (Sengenta). Purchased outright at a price of $13 Billion Dollars.
Chinese have a lot of mouths to feed. But this does affect US farming interests.
What took them so long? It was reason #3 why we bailed out of the CA. The punitive cost of living there became obscene.
Smithfield foods is also announced they're bailing and moving one of their large plants out of state.
Not to mention the risky liability due to the state being hyper litigious. In LA, and city bus can get in a minor collision, and everyone within 100 yards will fall down and claim they were on the bus and are now injured.
