Pennsylvania Leads Nation in Meat Plant Activity
Pennsylvania hosts 364 livestock slaughter plants and leads in sausage production with 124 million dollars in 1954 rising to 124 million in 1958 and 96 percent of national sausage output by 1963. Meat processing shifts favor plants near markets and specialized producers, while eastward freight changes reshape the industry landscape.
