A new piece of legislation was recently introduced in the House of Representatives and the Senate that will be a game changer for small processors.
H.R. 1258 and S.370, Strengthening Local Processing Act, is legislation that provides many of the critical things we have been looking for to help small processors improve and grow their businesses. The events of 2020 and the response of small processors have highlighted the need to increase capacity in our industry and to provide help to processors who are vital to their local communities.
