This spring, large meat processing facilities closed as workers tested positive for coronavirus. The shutdowns resulted in meat shortages and retailer-enforced rationing which left many questioning our meat supply chain. Are we too dependent on the four big meat processors? Is there room (and profit) for a proliferation of tier 2, medium or specialty meat processors? Oklahoma rancher and CPA, Gary Dennis, joins me to discuss beef and the business viability of going small in meat processing. Sponsored by Harvest Profit harvestprofit.com
