One very large Southern Oregon employer will be closed by the end of the year, leaving nearly 200 people without jobs.

The paper says upon buying the company, Seed Holdings immediately let go of half of Ferry-Morse employees nation-wide, leaving 199 local workers unemployed.

The plant located in White City is expected to close by December 31.

Workers are expected to learn more about this on Tuesday morning.
