Goldsboro Milling has over 500 office employees, in addition to contract growers that have dedicated their careers to the company. After 31 years in business, Goldsboro Milling of Maxwell Foods, LLC began phasing out production on August 6. COVID affected the food supply chain and the workforce in processing plants has slowed which also slowed the speed of production inside the plant. This backlog, along with extremely low pork prices results in low income for companies that raise meat animals.
