Minnesota state, city officials support HyLife in securing a new buyer

The Minnesota Department of Agriculture hosted a meeting this week to discuss possible options for the HyLife Foods Windom, LLC pork production plant. Earlier this month, the company notified state officials the plant will permanently close in June if a new buyer is not found. Headquartered in La Broquerie, Manitoba, the company announced in May 2020 that it has purchased 75% equity interest of Prime Pork LLC from Taylor Corp. A recently renovated processing facility that processes approximately 1.2 million hogs per year, Prime Pork increased HyLife’s processing capacity to 3.2 million hogs annually.
