Farmers say that plummeting pork prices might force them to euthanize baby pigs to cut losses.

The result is a glut of excess hogs, making it more expensive to sell pigs to be made into pork than to simply kill the animals.

The National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) said on Tuesday that farmers will lose almost $37 per hog and almost $5 billion.

In the meat industry, Smithfield Foods closed a South Dakota plant that supplies up to 5% of all pork in the US after more than 290 workers were diagnosed with COVID-19.

Other major meat processors, including JBS USA, Tyson, and Cargill, have also closed down plants after employees caught the coronavirus.
