 The deal included Smithfield's 146,000 acres of land, which made WH Group one of the largest overseas owners of American farmland.For decades Smithfield had run its acquisitions as independent operating companies, but in 2015 it set up the "One Smithfield" initiative to unify them; Circle Four Farms in Milford, Utah, for example, became Smithfield Hog Production-Rocky Mountain Region.Ken Sullivan said in 2017 that he saw the company's future as a "consumer-packaged goods business".
