Food Freedom RadioFood Freedom Radio – December 6, 2025Host Laura Hedlund speaks with Curt Arens, Senior Editor of Nebraska Farmer, to discuss the economic and cultural repercussions of Tyson Foods closing its beef processing plant in Lexington, Nebraska. They examine the factors driving the closure, including drought and low cattle inventory, while analyzing how this impacts a town where the cattle population vastly outnumbers the residents. They also take a look at resilience in agriculture, highlighting the rise of rancher-owned facilities like Sustainable Beef and the growing trend of direct-to-consumer marketing.
