[QUOTE="simme, post: 1723444, member: 40418"] The main chicken company in this area (small compared to the national companies) updated their processing lines a few years ago. Well prior to covid and covid money. Reason then was same as stated in this Tyson article - that they were having trouble getting enough workers to staff the processing lines. During the upgrades, they placed fewer chickens in the houses and increased the downtime between flock placements. Resulting in less money for the growers during that time. Sixty or 80 years ago, lots of work was completely manual. Very little automation. Seems like we had plenty of workers then. We have automated quite a bit since then and seem to have a bigger shortage of workers than ever. [/QUOTE]
