WashPost: How the Boar’s Head plant closure could wreck this tiny Virginia town

"The plant was the largest private employer in Jarratt (population 637) and overlapping Greensville County, an area that also has relied on a state prison for jobs as work in manufacturing and peanut farming dried up. About 500 union workers were affected by the closure, a sizable and sudden hit for a community accustomed to a long, slow slide. Many more expect to feel the pain as that jolt plays out across the local economy."
