Bill > S813

This bill directs the Secretary of Agriculture to revise regulations to allow certain small-scale meat packers (those with a slaughter capacity of less than 2,000 cattle or sheep per day, or 700,000 per year, or less than 10,000 hogs per day or 3,000,000 per year) to have an interest in market agencies, which was previously prohibited. The goal is to expand access to local meat processing facilities, especially for smaller-scale livestock producers.
