Yeah. They make pizza toppings, but Tyson used to have a good number of value added plants including several in Iowa that would take raw product and press it into nuggets, or patties, pork tenderloins, breakfast sausage, etc. I think Jimmy Dean might be a Tyson label.
Keep in mind that a value added plant like that is subject to many of the same demand issues that a slaughter facility would face, but may be able to operate at higher margins due to the nature of what they produce.
I don't think that Perry plant is that old, I think it opened in the 90's. Tyson wouldn't want to surrender a modern facility with water treatment and a trained workforce if they thought it was a short term thing. The pork complex has been pretty messed up for about 6-8 months. This might be a sign they expect that to continue? They've been losing money in their beef facilities for a good while, but demand in the beef sector is much better so it keeps moving out the door. I think the fresh pork market is just pretty backed up right now, so that's where you end up closing the doors.
