On the Thursday edition of the Michigan Ag Today Podcast: Tyson announced earlier this week it was shutting down another food production facility—this time, a pork production plant in Perry, Iowa—near Des Moines. That plant has nearly 1,300 employees and kills about 8,000 head a day. That facility is expected to close later this summer. C.J. Miller talks with Karl Setzer with Consus Ag Consulting (ConsusAg.net) about whether the closure will have any impact on the hog markets. Chief Meteorologist Ryan Martin has your Michigan Farm Forecast. Plus, Steve Erdman with the EFG Group reviews Wednesday’s grain markets.
