AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Health Care: Tennessee-based Ardent Health agreed to buy Columbia’s Boone Health for $47 million, including its 392-bed hospital and 19 care sites. The deal is expected to close in early 2027; Boone’s CEO says it will help avert layoffs and fund investment. Jobs: Conagra plans to close its Macon ingredients plant Jan. 15, affecting 442 workers. Retail Rules: Missouri’s new law bars unlicensed retailers from selling intoxicating hemp products, steering sales to licensed dispensaries and putting some businesses at risk of fines or prosecution. Data Centers: A St. Louis judge struck down renewable-energy and community-benefit conditions for a planned Midtown data center, as Missouri lawmakers weigh broader rules for such projects. Agriculture: Missouri-based National Beef says the U.S. cattle downturn may have bottomed, reporting its highest margin in two years amid tight supplies and strong demand.
