Dakota Provisions West, the company’s newest turkey processing plant that after a few months of testing is now filling customer orders, officially went on line in late February with 85 to 90 employees.
Ken Rutledge, the president and chief executive officer, said that number will climb to about 250 in 18 to 24 months when new lines and more products are added.
Workers recruited from Puerto Rico, some recently in their quest to escape the ravages of the hurricane for a better life, have been on the Dakota Provisions payroll training for their new jobs in the original plant east of Huron.
They are now transitioning to the new facility in the West Industrial Park.
