The Biden Administration has made it a goal to insert more competition into the meatpacking industry through smaller processing plants. Faulkton, South Dakota rancher Troy Hadrick is gearing up for the opening of a new packing plant in his hometown. “The goal for us is to find a place for customer harvesting for our branded beef program. We’ve got the beef and we’ve got the customers, but no where to process them.” The facility would be able to process 25 hogs, cattle or bison per day. Hadrick discussed the project during the South Dakota Cattlemen’s Association’s Regional Roundup in Faulkton.
