Forum: Expanding Market Opportunities for Meat Processing
Event: KCoe Isom, Wyoming Stock Growers Association, Agribusiness Council of Indiana, Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association, California Farm Bureau, and Protein Processing Services are hosting an informational forum on expanding market opportunities for meat and poultry processing.
In the past several decades, concentration of meat and poultry processing has limited options for farmers and ranchers to sell their products. Plant closures during the Covid-19 pandemic highlighted the disruptions that can come from closure of even a single plant. Tackling these challenges is of critical importance to consumers, farmers and ranchers, and the food supply chain.
We invite you to join us on Thursday, January 27 at 1:00-2:00 eastern to learn about challenges facing U.S. meat and poultry supply chains and efforts by the USDA and others to increase processing capacity in the United States. Following presentations, we will host moderated questions from the audience.
Speakers
• Dr. Tom Tomich, Founder, Food Systems Lab, University of California, Davis
• Jesse Hough, Nebraska Beef and Lamb
• Jonathan Huseman, Stockman’s Beef Packing, Texas
• Dr. Kamala Neal, Administrator of USDA Rural Business-Cooperative Services
