Smithfield Foods announced it would close one of the United States' largest pork processing plants until further notice in a statement released Sunday.
"This is your moment to take swift action for your people, the community of Sioux Falls and the State of South Dakota," Noem and Ten Taken wrote in Saturday's letter, additionally requesting that Smithfield continue to provide its employees with full compensation and benefits during the suggested 14-day closure period.
Commenting on the indefinite suspension in a statement included in Smithfield's announcement, Sullivan said closing the plant posed a threat to the meat production industry and could have damaging effects on businesses that depend on its supply.
