Cargill announced it will be down to one working plant in Wisconsin after it shuts down a plant in a Milwaukee facility. Cargill announced that the protein processing plant in Menomonee Valley will close by the end of May, and the move will result in more than 200 people losing their jobs. Production at the plant is expected to start winding down sometime soon and will likely come to an end around the middle of April. This is the latest Cargill facility to shut down during the last 12 years. Cargill’s website now has a single location left in Wisconsin, and that’s a grain elevator in La Crosse. Local reports say that affected employees have the opportunity to apply for positions at other Cargill locations or receive a severance package. The soon-to-be-closed facility produces fresh, ground beef and value-added meat products for some of the largest grocery retailers and will be fully closed on May 31.
