The stock market shows little early impact from the plant fire as weather and panhandle storms affect prices. ConAgra stock rose and will shift workload to other plants in Greeley and Dumas, with 60 to 65 percent of normal output expected to be absorbed. The fire’s main effect could hit cattle feeders through higher transport costs and potentially lower cattle prices.
Hospital admissions listed for Wednesday include Garden City patients Terry A. Al grim Cynthia G. Brungardt Billee Koehn Jessica L. LaPlant Peggy M. Spor Holcomb Stephanie Blackburn Naomi Howie Spearville Gabrielle A. Habiger and baby boy.
The Holcomb plant hiring staff plan to process ConAgra applications with higher wages for experienced production workers. Starting wage is 9 per hour, up to 13 with experience, plus health insurance.
