Jan 25, 2021 Global food, agricultural, financial and industrial products company Cargill recently announced it soon plans to temporary idle two protein processing facilities for scheduled maintenance. Each facility’s idling is unrelated to the COVID-19 pandemic, the company noted. On Feb. 4, Cargill will idle its Dodge City, Kan. location and on March 18, the company will idle its Schuyler, Neb. facility. The Dodge City facility has a daily processing capacity of 5,200 head while the Schuyler facility has a capacity of 5,100 head per day. Both sites are primary processing operations and will be down for approximately one week to perform previously scheduled maintenance of the refrigeration systems, the company said.
