This was when they were still in Smithfield. Just across the James. We used to play them in little league football.

Not the squeamish type. Compliance/oversight job. He said he almost threw up. It was bad. Smithfield itself assessed the situation (and probably with a sweet tax/land deal) moved the whole operation down to their massive plant just north of Tar Heel NC (population 90). They “process” 30,000 pigs….a day - everyday 365.
