(1/5) Livestock farmers are numerous and robust, but the factories that process most of the meat are not. The supply lines are brittle and breaking.

For several years, a politically diverse group of lawmakers has sponsored a bill to solve this problem. https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/26/business/tyson-foods-nyt-ad/index.html

(2/5) Now is the time to pass this bill before food shortages and wasting of animals become widespread. It’s called the PRIME Act, and it would allow farmers to sell food LOCALLY using small scale family owned processors. https://massie.house.gov/newsroom/press-releases/representatives-massie-and-pingree-introduce-bipartisan-prime-act-to-empower

(5/5) If your Representative & Senators aren’t sponsors of the PRIME Act, please call and ask them what their plans are for preventing coming meat shortages and inevitable euthanization of animals. If they don’t have a plan, ask them to sponsor the PRIME Act. HR 2859 / S 1620 !

By the way, @chiproytx asked me to add him as a cosponsor a while back and I must have dropped the ball! He will be listed on the website as soon as Congress has another proforma session. If you’re lucky enough to be represented by @chiproytx , please call and thank him!
