This is a close-up on what Nelson Meat Packing Plant looks like now. It was the engire room of the Starship Enterprise. I remember Dad inside the boilers in the basement with his welder fixing and replacing rusted pipes. It was like Scotty fixing the warp engines. In addition, there was a byproducts plant just north of this zoom where bones and waste meat were cooked. The cooked material was pressed into 3 foot cakes, the grease put in 100 gallon barrells and sold, and the cakes ground into protein meal to feed turkeys. I have never seen nor experienced a dirtier nor a stinkier job. And I remember when some in the valley claimed nitrates from the Byproducts Plant were causing elevated nitrate levels in water wells, seemingly forgetting all of the natrates put on alfalfa fields each year by farmers in the valley.
