Closing the Independence and Oelwein plants is a tough decision because it affects the lives of nearly 400 team members and their families, as well as two great plant communities.

We thank our Team Members for their hard work and support of these plants. We'll do our best to help them as they seek other employment at another Tyson location or with other employers in the area.
