All regular shifts are back on schedule today at the J-B-S plant in Marshalltown that had some production disrupted this week after a company-wide cyber attack. However, the slaughtering operation at the J-B-S plant in Ottumwa will start two hours late today. Governor Kim Reynolds has talked with the managers of both plants and she says it sounds like J-B-S has resolved most of its I-T issues.
Iowa State University livestock economist Lee Schultz says J-B-S can make up for a few days of lost production and consumers won’t experience meat shortages at the grocery store.
