Cargill To End Dayton Location!

Cargill leaves Dayton.

Food processing company Cargill announced it will shut down its Dayton facility located near the Hollywood Gaming racino. That will put 1,000 people out of jobs.

It says that it will be winding down in 20 months. So just about time for the 2028 elections.

The facility was there for a generation. 

Milwaukee announced its Cargill ground beef facility is closing putting 235 people out of jobs.

Cargill is historically tied to Republicans and conservative causes. 

So this will impact Dayton, mayor Shenise Turner-Sloss, Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH), Sen. Jon Husted (R-OH) and Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH).

Cargill has 15 other locations unaffected in Ohio.

The other locations are in Lewisburg and Sidney which are near Dayton.

That facility is best known for corn processing which gave that noxious smell of corn in a five mile radius. It processed corn syrup, dog food and corn based feeds.

Cargill is based out of Minneapolis. It is struggling because of President Donald J. Trump's tariffs, the damn aggression in Iran and the uncertainty of manufacturing.

“We remain fully committed to continuing to serve our customers in this market and to supporting our employees through the transition,” the spokesperson said. “Cargill also remains committed to Ohio and continues to operate 15 facilities across the state, employing nearly 1,000 people.”
