"SPRINGDALE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — A pair of Tyson Foods beef plants are expected to lay off a total of nearly 5,000 workers on Tuesday as part of the company’s plan to “right size” its beef business.

After its beef segment posted a record $1.135 billion loss in fiscal 2025, or $426 million adjusted, Tyson announced in November that it would end operations at its Lexington, Nebraska, beef facility and convert its Amarillo, Texas, beef facility to a single, full-capacity shift.

All 3,212 employees are expected to be laid off at the Lexington facility, and the move to a single shift at the Amarillo plant will eliminate 1,761 jobs, according to Texas and Nebraska Worker Adjustment & Retraining Notification (WARN) notices.
The Associated Press reported at the time of Tyson’s announcement that the two moves would reduce beef processing capacity nationwide by 7-9%."
