Sioux City Journal: The former Tyson Foods meat plant in Cherokee, idle since 2014, has sprung back to life with a new owner and product line. The Iowa Food Group plant began production Monday, said Mack Zimmerman, one of the partners of the investor group formed last year. The plant currently employs 35, but “that’s going to continue to grow over the next couple of months,” Zimmerman said. “We should be at 100 pretty quick this year.” Workers at the plant will process beef, chicken, pork and lamb that has been slaughtered elsewhere.
