THE QUICK READ
ConAgra Brands runs a food processing plant in Council Bluffs, Iowa, turning beef, chicken, pork, and turkey into not-ready-to-eat products — meals like frozen entrees that still need to be cooked or heated before serving, rather than ready-to-eat items. With roughly 500 employees, it's a large-sized plant by headcount. The site sits just a few miles from ConAgra's Omaha, Nebraska headquarters, across the Missouri River.
