SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — A cattle harvesting facility in Yankton is stopping operations.

AFG says they plan to provide continued pay and benefits to employees during the transition and say team members are on-site discussing relocation options. According to the company, the decision to 'idle harvest operations' impacts more than 250 employees.
'We are committed to standing by our employees and doing everything we can to assist them through this challenging time,' Louie Kohlbeck, president of American Foods Group's Fresh Meats Division, said in a news release.
An 'unprecedented cattle cycle and long term industry changes' were cited as the reason for closing.
The Cimpl's facility was purchased by the Rosen Meat Group in 1988, which acquiredAmerican Foods Group in 2005.

Westinghouse pursuing US nuclear expansion with 10 large reactors after Trump orders: report
Nuclear equipment supplier Westinghouse is in talks with US officials and industry partners about deploying 10 large reactors, in response to presidential executive orders, the Financial Times reported on Sunday, citing the company's CEO.

AP Dan Sumner, Westinghouse interim chief executive, told the FT that the company was 'uniquely positioned' to deliver the president's agenda because it had an approved reactor design, a viable supply chain and recent experience of building two of its AP1000 reactors in Georgia. 'There is active engagement with the administration, including key points of interface with the loan programs office, recognizing the importance of financing to the deployment of the model,' he told the FT. Westinghouse did not immediately respond to requests for comment outside regular business hours.
