FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Announcing Livestock Processing-L and the Cornell Small Farms Work Team on Livestock Processing Issues
November 7, 2007, Ithaca, NY - Thanks to funding from the Cornell Small Farms Program, New York now has a statewide Work Team on Livestock Processing Issues. The goal of this team for 2008 is to come up with a plan of action to improve processing infrastructures and regulations for NY livestock farmers. The LPI Work Team includes farmers, Cornell Extension faculty, NGO and agency representatives.
As a first step, team members have created a list serve, LivestockProcessing-L, for communication amongst interested livestock farmers, small scale processors, extension staff, and agency representatives in New York and bordering states. LivestockProcessing-L will announce important Action Alerts pertaining to livestock slaughter and small scale processing of animal products. It will also serve as a forum for 1) sharing processing resources, 2) discussing barriers to effective processing and potential solutions, and 3) publicizing regional efforts to improve or expand slaughter and processing facilities.
The list is open to members of bordering states as well as NY in part to find out how they deal with similar issues and situations within their respective states. If you are interested in keeping abreast of slaughter and processing issues and want a chance to share your own views, we urge you to join LivestockProcessing-L.
