Walmart is putting more than $250 million into a beef packaging plant in Olathe. That will bring hundreds of jobs to Johnson County and reflects a big shift in the way beef gets from farm to table.
Walmart plans to build an Olathe meatpacking plant that will take big cuts of beef from a slaughterhouse in North Platte, Nebraska, and turn them into single serving pieces, packaged and priced for Walmart stores across the Midwest.
The facility will handle the kind of work that grocery store butchers do — at factory scale.
The Arkansas-based mega-retailer said it plans to hire more than 650 people to staff the $257 million plant it’s building on the southern edge of Olathe near U.S. 169 and 167th Street.

We grow the beef here, might as well pack it and sell it here. A good steak from Kansas beef is about the best I have tasted.

With all the mRNA crap going on, I only buy local livestock for meat. I know the packer, and I know the producer. The government control over the food supply is getting ridiculous, so I'm taking steps to ensure our food stability.
