A large hog farm near Tribune in Greeley
County is scheduled to begin operations in early October.
The business will have 60 barns when it opens but has permits
for 120 barns, with each barn housing 1,000 hogs. It is owned by
Seaboard Foods.
David Eaheart, marketing director for Seaboard, says the company
began stocking the barns several weeks ago and will stock the final
barn in the first week of October. He says 10 to 12 people will be
hired at the farm.
He says the Greeley County operation will house hogs before they
are sent to a Guymon, Okla., plant for processing.
Greeley County residents approved allowing major hog farms in the county in
December 2010.
