Instead of us linking to her stories she has agreed to write stories for us.
Below is a newspaper article about her. One of her projects is to get more meat cutters working in the slaughterhouses.
"But the shortage of slaughterhouses in New England is making it difficult for animals to be slaughtered humanely."
As demand for locally-produced meat increases, Massachusetts Farm Bureau Federation officials appeared Thursday before the joint Committee on Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture in the state House of Representatives to support a bill filed by Rep. Stephen Kulik, D-Worthington, calling for changes to the oversight of slaughtering that would help local farmers.
The demand for carcass exceeds the supply...that's interesting. This is a really great opportunity for maximizing cutter skill sets. If it was offered here I'd definitely look into it.
