The Brandon-based Maple Leaf Foods hog-processing plant is cutting back production by one day per month over the next five months.

The change will affect approximately 1,800 people who are working on the both the kill and cut floors.

This change will not affect maintenance and powerhouse employees however.

The cutback is due to fewer hogs being produced on Manitoba farms.
