Dear readers,
I’m afraid I may have led some of you astray with a blog posting last week promising a Saturday article on Pilgrim’s Pride. That didn’t quite work out, but rest assured, there is an update coming this week. I spoke with Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe, as well as some of the state’s top economists. What they had to say seems promising, although all agree that it may be out of anyone’s hands at this point.
Still, at least the state is trying to save more than 1,600 jobs here. Let’s hope they can.
