New York (CNN Business)Tyson Foods (TSN) is warning that "millions of pounds of meat" will disappear from the supply chain as the coronavirus pandemic pushes food processing plants to close, leading to product shortages in grocery stores across the country. "The food supply chain is breaking," wrote board chairman John Tyson in a full-page advertisement published Sunday in The New York Times, Washington Post and Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
US farmers don't have anywhere to sell their livestock, he said, adding that "millions of animals — chickens, pigs and cattle — will be depopulated because of the closure of our processing facilities." "There will be limited supply of our products available in grocery stores until we are able to reopen our facilities that are currently closed," Tyson wrote.

They get paid more to be unemployed.”
Some of us been pointing that out. Why go back to work when the money flowing from the government, via debt, is more than they make during normal times. TAKE away the bennies. No work, no pay. We are making do with one of us on furlough. Going outside, it looks like everyone is on vacation..biking, hiking, standing about chatting (separated), amazon making daily deliveries. Not a care in the world as long as “their lady” arrives the first of the month. I am aware of one very large physicians group that laid off 1500 people, most of them back office and assistant types, making a tad over $15 per hour. The wage continuation package is closer to $25. They are fretting they will not get anyone to come back if or when the money runs out and by then they will be closed permanently. I used to think we were smart not having debt. Now it seems the prevailing wisdom is why pay, just walk away...they cannot tow away everyone’s house or car or airplane if you are Delta as there is no where to put them.
Bingo, plus the Hillary’s futures trading miracle had the help of Tyson’s lawyer, James Blair.
So we’re all vegetarians now?
This is crap — verbal terrorism to crush the economy and people’s spirits.
“They are trolls.”
Agreed. Isn’t there some way to ban them? I can think of one in particular who needs to be gone, pronto.
“What’s Trump supposed to do?”
How about ... HIS JOB? The job we elected him to do.
“Let me guess, you think Joe Biden would be doing a much better job with this situation. Right?”
That’s a ridiculous “argument”.
LOL....love your reply to that obviously pent up (hmmmm.....since the 2016 campaign season ?) epic, rant.
Hillary would’ve had EVERYTHING socialized, by now....and, wouldn’t have needed a pandemic to do it.
POTUS Trump is trying to SAVE the country/businesses, not take them over.
People here should be blaming the ChiComs, not Trump.
Interesting to see where (some of their) blame is being pointed.
He has spoken to these things at press conferences. States and counties are opening back up, with my county shooting through Stage 2 by May 1st.
All employees were declared “essential,” here. There are plenty of places going back to a more normal situation starting May 1st.
Where are you at mentally? I wonder.
....
Really, that’s all you got?
“Wasn’t Tyson the puke that bankrolled Clinton?”
I don’t recall bankrolling ecactly. IIRC, Tyson and Clinton had an unholy and unethical relationship involving state inmates being sent to work for Tyson for little or no money. I could be totally wrong, but my head hard drive sort-of recalls that.
Okay...but, back to the topic of my post/your reply....
Are you saying that the Tyson workers are becoming infected with COVID, due to working with Tyson’s “190,000 slaughtered animals”??
“President Trump, where are you?”
Doing what he is allowed to do by the Constitution. Since this is in Arkansas, maybe Asa Hutchinson should be held accountable for his shelter in place order on March 24th. States rights hamstring Trump from stepping in. He can’t lift a shelter in place order put on by the state government like this. He doesn’t have the authority.
And those orders from their respective governors are the reason we are overburdened with product as it is not being used. The gas industry has more gas than they know what to do with from lack of people on the road. The supply far exceeds the demand.

Never-Trumper convention on this thread!
You know better than to post and not ping ...and then to lie...golly gee...hmmmmm nope not 2016 doll. Been here since 2004.
Been schooled by the best FReepers around.
I'm not an agricultural expert but if people are Stuck At Home are they eating less than when they were working? Most complain they are getting fatter.
You are senile. Trump definitely has talked about those things, but you have to watch the press conferences for that information. I have, so I can speak authoritatively.
You obviously can’t, so shut your yap, Chihuahua!
New York City has plenty of unemployed hombres that have already gotten infected and are immune to COVID-19.
How about "both"?? The FUD trolls are out in huge force here on FR. I've been on FR a LOOONNNNGGGG time, and I've never seen it this bad. Unknown "handles" that I've never seen before are everywhere, and selling the same FUD messages (ChiCom agitators/shills).
