senate 04/29/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to strengthen and support small and very small meat and poultry processors by improving access to resources, increasing funding for state inspections, and creating training and grant programs that help these local businesses grow and operate safely. Our goal is to make processing more resilient and accessible for farmers, ranchers, and communities across the country.

Finally, a win for local farms and fair labor—not just big meat bosses. Small processors deserve a fighting chance, not just scraps from the table.

Boosting local processors is a smart move—cut the fat of big bureaucracy and let free markets bring the heat.

Supporting small meat plants is a step toward sustainable food justice—because transparency shouldn’t be just a buzzword for corporate giants.

This legislation aims to level the field, but only time will tell if it’s a real shot in the arm or just a fancy safety net for niche operators.

Helping small plants isn’t bad, but without clear accountability, it’s just another grant program in need of a reality check.

Boosting small meat processors sounds good, but let's see if resources actually trickle down or just get lost in red tape. Pragmatism over promises every time.

Finally, less federal interference and more freedom for small meat plants to hustle—less paperwork, more profit. Small business isn’t the problem, government red tape is.

This bill is a little bacon-wrapped love for family farmers and workers, making sure safer food doesn’t mean closing doors on small businesses.

Less Washington micromanaging what’s on your plate, more competition and choice—now that’s a recipe for success.
