Summary
The USDA just unleashed a $50 million Stand-Up Program to empower states to inspect meat locally—making it easier for small and mid-sized processors to get certified, bringing ranchers closer to home. With 30 states already running their own inspection programs, this funding covers up to half the costs, boosting rural processing capacity while keeping food safe through science-backed standards. It’s part of a broader push to modernize regulations and get more American beef on your table. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
