The recent announcement by Hylife Foods of Neepawa and La Broquerie is slowly sinking in. $125 million is a lot of money. It’s even more money when one considers some of the previous figures tossed around over the years. Few really know, and I am not one of the few, what Hylife paid for the Springhill Farms hog plant. The figure of $69 million was touted as being what was invested in the plant to buy it and improve it. Could be. We do know that the waste water treatment plant, E3, cost about $20 million. We do know that Itochu of Japan paid about $60 million for a one third interest a few years back. But $125 million, that tops them all.
