Prestage Foods to build state-of-the-art pork processing facility
The $43 million plant is expected to create more than 900 new full-time jobs.
Prestage Foods, Clinton, N.C., announced plans to build a new state-of-the-art pork processing facility in Eagle Grove, Iowa.
“We are investing in Iowa and specifically Wright County because we believe this plant is good for Iowa, good for agriculture and a good step forward for our family-owned and run business,” says Ron Prestage, division president. “Iowa is the nation’s leading pork producing state, and currently produces more pigs than it can process. This plant will keep the value from processing pigs in this state.”
