Agriprocessors Meltdown: On the Ground in Postville
Our Nathaniel Popper is on the ground in Postville, Iowa, reporting on the meltdown of kosher meat producer Agriprocessors.
He reports on the precarious situation of the company’s animals (with exclusive video), the plight of its diverse workforce and the country’s looming kosher meat shortage.
These reports follow news that a bank is trying to foreclose on the troubled kosher meat company’s assets, the arrest of its former CEO and a $10 million fine imposed by the state of Iowa.
