Tyson announces closure of Lexington, NE beef facility

Posted November 23, 2025

Springdale, Ark.–Tyson Foods on Friday announced network changes designed to right size its beef business and position it for long-term success.

The company will end operations at its Lexington, Nebraska, beef facility and convert its Amarillo, Texas, beef facility to a single, full-capacity shift. To meet customer demand, production will be increased at other company beef facilities, optimizing volumes across our network.

Tyson Foods recognizes the impact these decisions have on team members and the communities where we operate. The company is committed to supporting our team members through this transition, including helping them apply for open positions at other facilities and providing relocation benefits.

With these changes, Tyson Foods is ensuring that it will continue to deliver high-quality, affordable, and nutritious protein for generations to come.
