Pork Demand Cuts Jobs at Wichita Farmland Plant
Falling demand for pork hits Farmland Industries workers in Wichita as the plant reduces volume and faces more layoffs.

Richard Berst, a three month employee, fears he could be laid off and struggles to meet financial obligations amid the industry downturn. Farmland Foods plans the Topeka shutdown to boost processing efficiency, impacting 250 workers.
