I think it’s safe to say that 2020 did not turn out the way many small processors had planned, both personally and professionally.
You may be familiar with the phrase, “in like a lion, out like a lamb.” As many processors began the year with specific business goals and deadlines, the nation was hit hard by the onset of the Coronavirus or COVID-19. COVID-19 came in like a lion in early March; we are still waiting for it to become a lamb and make its exit. Little did we know how much it would transform things for business and the industry as a whole.
