That number of chickens loses is way above 2019/2020 no doubt, but you seem to be equating the lose a certain number of chickens to the lose of a chicken processing plant.

Again, my beef was that your title said, "Complete list of 97 food processing plants", when I only could 30 plants.

So are chickens put to death the same thing as a plant being destroyed, I don't think so Buckwheat!

By a rough count of your Chickens lost I get roughly 35,000,000. (Quick count)

Lets look at 2020.

In 2020 9.8 billion broiler chicks were hatched in the U.S.

Chickens Lost, Sold for Slaughter, Sold, and Value – States and United States:

2020 Lost = 156,420,000 (boilers) (Includes rendered, died, destroyed, composted, or disappeared for any reason except sold during the 12-month period)
2020 Sold for slaughter = 186,834,900 (boilers)
2020 Sold = 1,014,131,700

I know that sounds like a lot of chickens killed, but it looks to me like it's a drop in the bucket.
