Agri Beef to open processing plant in Idaho

Agri Beef plans to open a processing plant in south-central Idaho.

The Boise-based company made the announcement last week in Jerome, where a facility that can process 500 head per-day will be constructed.

Officials say they are partnering with cattle producers in the region to form True West Beef, based on a strategy that provides a beef processing solution to recent production interruptions that challenged many companies in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Other brands associated with Agri Beef include Snake River Farms, Double R Ranch, and St. Helens Beef.

The Jerome plant is expected to create nearly 400 jobs.
