Southern Minnesota pork plant likely to close, laying off 1,000

A pork processing plant in southern Minnesota is poised to shut down and permanently lay off more than 1,000 people if a new owner for the Windom operation can't soon be found.

The move reflects challenging economic conditions for portions of the pork industry.

HyLife Foods filed notice with the state this week that its efforts to turn the business around have been unsuccessful.
