First, I apologize for messing up the date on the last blog post for the webinar we did yesterday for the North Dakota Society of CPAs. Also, our service that sends out the post usually does it early the next morning after we do a post. However, lately, it sometimes takes an extra day which the case for this post. The good news is that there is a recording of the webinar avialable.

Smithfield Foods Inc. has just announced that in early 2023—less than a year from now—it will close its processing plant in Vernon, California (near Los Angeles). It operates 45 plants throughout the U.S., owned by umbrella company WHGroup Ltd. out of Hong Kong but really a Chinese company.
