USDA Evaluating Small Meat and Poultry Processing Needs
The U.S. Department of Agriculture released a preliminary study
revealing existing gaps in the regional food systems regarding the
availability of slaughter facilities to small meat and poultry
producers. The study by USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS)
is a first attempt to identify areas in the U.S. where small livestock
and poultry producers are concentrated but may not have access to a
nearby slaughter facility. The data creates a county-by-county view of
the continental United States, indicating the concentration of small
farms raising cattle, hogs and pigs, and chicken, and also noting the
location of nearby state slaughter facilities and small and very small
federal slaughter establishments. 

The presentation "Slaughter Availability to Small Livestock and Poultry
Producers - Maps" may be found at:
