Changes Ahead for Jennie-O

There’s a change coming to the Jennie-O plant in Barron County. 

The company yesterday said the plant will no longer harvest turkeys.  Instead, the plant in Barron will focus on other tasks including ‘smoking, cooking, canning, curing, refining, or rendering products.’  No one will lose their job because of the change.  Jennie-O says it’s making the change to focus on demand from customers.  The transition will begin next month.
