Tyson Foods to close Nebraska beef plant in Jan 2026, cutting 3,200 jobs amid industry struggles.
Tyson Foods will close its Lexington, Nebraska, beef plant in January 2026, eliminating about 3,200 jobs, and reduce operations at its Amarillo, Texas, plant to one shift, affecting roughly 1,700 workers.
The move, driven by a 2% decline in beef sales, record losses in the beef segment, and the lowest cattle supply in decades, reflects ongoing industry strain from drought, high feeding costs, and shrinking herds.
The company plans to shift production to other facilities and assist affected employees with job placement and relocation.
The closure has drawn criticism from Nebraska leaders, who called it devastating for the local economy, while officials emphasized the state’s strong cattle industry and future opportunities.
