Central California peach farmers are preparing to uproot approximately 420,000 clingstone peach trees after Del Monte Foods permanently closed its processing facilities in Modesto and Hughson in April. The closures come as part of Del Monte’s ongoing bankruptcy proceedings.

The closures have left growers with few options to sell their crops, prompting federal lawmakers to secure up to $9 million in emergency aid to help farmers remove roughly 3,000 acres of orchards before the upcoming harvest season begins in late May.

Last year's bankruptcy has created ripple effects in agriculture, with thousands of peach trees now slated for removal as the company reorganizes.

The shutdown comes as soaring jet fuel prices derailed its plans to emerge from its second bankruptcy. Efforts to reach a deal with the Trump administration on an 11th hour rescue package that was also acceptable to a key group of creditors proved unsuccessful Friday.

The decision will leave millions of passengers holding Spirit tickets in coming months scrambling to make other travel arrangements and put 17,000 Spirit employees out of a job. Eliminating the airline’s flights is also likely to raise fares across the entire US airline industry.

Spirit Airlines is set to announce in the coming hours that that it will halt flying as of 3 am ET Saturday, according to two sources familiar with its plans, making it the first significant US airline to halt operations in nearly 25 years.

Consumer bankruptcy attorneys told Business Insider that over the past year or so, they've seen a surge of young clients — mostly men in their 20s and 30s — running into financial trouble largely due to online gambling.

In many cases, those clients have racked up tens of thousands of dollars in credit card debt by placing bets on online sportsbooks, the lawyers said.

As sports betting apps boom, bankruptcy lawyers are seeing more young clients buried in credit card debt.

Soaring fuel prices are threatening air carriers around the world, and in the US the White House is scrambling to save the long-troubled Spirit Airlines.

The carrier is in bankruptcy court and is quickly running out of cash. Reports last week suggested that the Trump administration was in talks to loan as much as $500m to the company as it teetered on the brink of liquidation. Then on Thursday, Trump told reporters the federal government might buy the ailing airline.

EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — A federal bankruptcy judge has established an absolute deadline of Sept. 11 for survivors of alleged clergy abuse to file claims for compensation against the Catholic Diocese of El Paso.

The ruling, finalized during a bankruptcy hearing this past Tuesday, marks a critical milestone in the church’s Chapter 11 reorganization. The Diocese filed for bankruptcy earlier this year after facing dozens of lawsuits alleging clergy abuse in parishes across southern New Mexico between the 1950s and 1980s.

The distilled spirits industry faced a challenging year in 2025, as spirits supplier sales declined by 2.2% to $36.4 billion, according to the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States.

The decline in sales has led to distillery closings and bankruptcy filings in certain cases.

The vodka and whiskey distillery refiles for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after its earlier filing in September 2025 was dismissed.
