Del Monte Foods is closing food processing plants in Pulaski and Oconto Falls soon after acquiring the company that owned them.
WLUK-TV reported Friday that 40 full-time jobs will be lost, along with 200 seasonal positions.
The plants process and store corn, green beans and peas. Del Monte acquired their owner, Sager Creek Vegetable Co., earlier this month.
Del Monte said in a statement the decision was difficult but would allow it to keep a strong presence in Wisconsin. The company also operates a plant in Markesan.
WLUK said layoffs will start in Pulaski in May and Oconto Falls in June.
