Liz,
Thank you for raising this issue. I’ve been advocating for everything you addressed. If you don’t mind, I’d like to share your comments with some of my contacts at PDA?
I’ve also been recommending that producers take advantage of the fact that at this time consumers are buying in large quantities so can we sell more quarters or eighths and use custom processors.

"Supplying inspection services is a problem FSIS must solve. If anyone implements temporary measures regarding inspection services, it will be OPM relaxing the hiring criteria to expand the manpower pool for FSIS to hire from, or Congress raising inspector salaries to entice more qualified people to apply. CoVID has put FSIS between a rock and a hard spot just like industry." (From NMPAN Listserv)

1) There's a webinar today at 2 pm EDT called Coping with COVID-19: Business Strategies for Small Meat Processors (https://onlinexperiences.com/scripts/Server.nxp?LASCmd=AI:4;F:QS!10100&ShowUUID=97DACF20-618C-4CC5-BEF6-BFE11EFA352B&LangLocaleID=1033&AffiliateData=1-Fusion0505Web)2) The best source of information I've found on local meat processing is the Niche Meat Processor Assistance Network (NMPAN).There is a link on the group's webpage to register for the listserv. https://www.nichemeatprocessing.org/
3) I've been tracking the grass fed beef industry for a few years and have applied for 2 USDA grants to help local producers and meat processors generate additional revenue from value added byproducts. One has been recommended for funding, and the other is still pending. I would be happy to volunteer my time to help efforts toward a more local/regional, environmentally sustainable, and humane food supply chain.

Hi everyone,
Annalina here with the Wallace Center. In response to all the great discussion and resource sharing in this thread, we hope you’ll join us to further discuss the challenges faced by small and mid-sized meat processors, especially amidst covid:
"COVID-19
and Small and Mid-Sized Meat Processors: Exploring the Challenges, Solutions,
and a Path Forward "
While COVID-19 has disrupted and
exposed the vulnerability of large industrial meat processors, it has also
highlighted new and longstanding challenges faced by small and mid-sized
processors. Within this context, solutions are emerging that address the
challenges in the short term and offer a path forward towards lasting change.
Join Jessica Roosa from This Old Farm, Rebecca Thistlethwaite from Niche Meat
Processor Assistance Network, and Kelly Nuckolls from National Sustainable
Agriculture Coalition for a conversation to explore the impact that COVID-19 is
having on small and medium sized meat processors, how they're adapting to these
challenges, and the changes underway to alleviate pressure and long term to
ensure lasting change.
This call will be hosted by the Wallace Center on Wednesday,
May 13 at 1pm Eastern. Register
here.
The call will be recorded and please reach out if you have any questions!
Warmly,
Annalina
*apologies for any cross posting*
Yesterday the Wallace Center hosted the COVID-19 and Small and Mid-Sized Meat Processors: Exploring the Challenges, Solutions, and a Path Forward Call to continue the discussion on this thread and further explore the impact COVID-19 is having on small and medium sized meat processors, how they're adapting to these challenges, and the efforts underway that we can support to help alleviate pressure and ensure lasting change for these critical links in our food systems. We’re grateful to have been joined by Jessica Roosa of This Old Farm, Rebecca Thistlethwaite from Niche Meat Processor Assistance Network, and Kelly Nuckolls from National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition to share their expertise.
Call notes, recording, and chatbox transcript can be found at this link.
Be sure to explore Niche Meat Processor Assistance Network’s website and listserv for more technical and specific information around small and mid-sized meat processing; the Wallace Center’s Pasture Project website also offers resources around grass-based livestock production systems and value-chains.
Thanks!
