SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) — The head of Wholestone foods is working to put an end to the rumors that the company has changed its mind about building a large pork processing plant in Sioux Falls.
Those rumors began swirling with the recent closure of a smaller plant the company built last year.
Wholestone President and CEO Luke Minion gave an exclusive interview to Bill Zortman and KELO-AM’s “It’s Your Business” show this morning.
He says market conditions and a recent merger involving the company changed the timing of things.
Former State Agriculture Secretary Walt Bones says the massive size of the project and swings in the economy have to be considered.
Minion says the company will be very transparent about its plans and any changes along the way.
