From my understanding they still have pig farms and income.

In the article re-organize does not mean close the stock.


“Hog Supplier AgFeed Seeks Bankruptcy on Hormel Dispute (Correct)
By Tiffany Kary July 16, 2013
________________________________________
AgFeed USA LLC (FEED:US), a producer of hogs and supplier of hog feed to China, filed for bankruptcy protection, citing a dispute with Hormel Foods Corp. that led to a default on its debt.

The Chapter 11 petition filed in Wilmington, Delaware, today listed as much as $500 million in assets (FEED:US) and debt as high as $100 million. The company had a disagreement with Hormel, which led to arbitration and a default under one of its loan agreements, according to the filing. Also filing was parent AgFeed Industries Inc.

“A sale of all or substantially all of the assets of AgFeed USA” is the best way to reorganize, and the company already has an offer for $79 million, Chief Restructuring Officer Keith Maib said in court papers. It plans to hold an auction to test for higher offers in bankruptcy.

AgFeed operates through units in China and the British Virgin Islands and has 21 commercial farms and five feed mills that produce more than a quarter-million hogs a year, according to the filing.”
