“As a business and industry, we continue to push forward against unprecedented headwinds that make it more important than ever to be mindful of our structure, costs and expenses,” according to a company statement released to Green Markets. “With this in mind, Winfield United restructured its business to reflect the changing landscape and better serve our customers and owners. As part of this change, approximately 50 Winfield positions have been impacted by a workforce reduction. Such decisions are never taken lightly but at times are necessary to ensure continued success for our business, our retail owners and the farmers we serve.”
