The South Dakota Farmers Union is working with potential investors to make an offer to purchase the DemKota beef packing plant in Aberdeen. The plant is currently owned by California-based White Oak Global Advisors. The plant started to process animals in 2015 and slaughters more than 1,000 cows each day. There is an increased demand for meat processing at local lockers and small processing facilities, following the closure of meat packing plants and a bottleneck of livestock in the state. Potential investors could see this as an opportunity to create more options.
