[QUOTE="HDRider, post: 1630511, member: 17025"] When negotiating ask for more than you expect. Ask for 50, take 30. We need a multitude of small beef processors, and a more direct route to retail outlets. Over 90% of our beef comes from one of four mega processors. Each processor processes 30,000 head per day. They are our choke point. Small processors can barely stay open during normal times, eking out a profit, and now that we need them so desperately, they are booked solid for months, and can't find qualified help I am becoming convinced that our government wants Ag to move totally offshore. All the evidence, which grows every day, points to that. There is no other viable explanation Small processors have been legislated out of existence. We need to make the need for small processors known to Congress. We need to end our dependence away from the big four mega processors. Regulations and laws should not be barriers to entry. Regulations and laws should be barriers to dominance. A small processor has to be profitable. That means changes in regulations and laws that have legislated them out of existence. I envision a cooperative effort between producers, processors and retail outlets. Small beef producers need small processors. People need to know where food comes from #SmallProducerSmallProcessor [/QUOTE]
