Like many businesses and people who would like to find a reset button for 2020, the veal industry — from farmers to processors — feel the same way. Can anyone even remember what we were anticipating and implementing the first two months of 2020? The impact COVID-19 has had on people and businesses is so unparalleled that it overshadows any original plans for 2020.
Like everyone else, American Veal Association (AVA) members, have been trying to make the best decisions for their families, employees and communities to protect public health while continuing to care for their animals, run businesses and contribute to a safe food supply. As challenging as it has been, we know we are not alone.
