Georgia Farms Gain National Access | Savannah News

USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins just dropped a major win for Georgia’s cattle farmers—23 small meat plants can now ship nationwide for the first time, boosting local economies as the U.S. herd hits historic lows and big corporations dominate processing. With farm bankruptcies rising and America importing more food than ever, Rollins warns foreign reliance is risky—like that parasite-laden lettuce—and ties farm security to national security. Georgia’s own agriculture chief backs it, calling it a vital step toward self-sufficiency. While farm failures are tough, Rollins notes they’re still a tiny fraction of the nation’s farms. Relief is coming via new laws like the Farm Bill, though full impact won’t hit until later this year. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
