One of the US’s largest grocery store chains has announced it will build its first case-ready beef facility in a Kansas City suburb.

Walmart will build a $257 million plant in Olathe that will take cuts of beef from a producer-owned meat packing plant in Nebraska. Walmart also has an ownership stake in Sustainable Beef LLC.

Kansas Ag Secretary Mike Beam tells Brownfield it will help meet consumer demands by offering specialty cuts.
