[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Good morning, 


This email is off the record and for planning purposes only.  


You are invited to join a press call with Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, who will discuss a historic investment being made by the Biden-Harris Administration to expand meat and poultry processing capacity in California, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Texas, and Vermont. 


The investment will in turn increase competition, support producer income, strengthen the food supply chain, and create jobs and economic opportunities in rural areas. The announcement is one of many actions that the U.S. Department of Agriculture is taking to expand processing capacity and increase competition in meat and poultry processing to make agricultural markets more accessible, fair, competitive, and resilient for American farmers and ranchers, and builds upon the Department’s efforts to transform the nation’s food system 


The call will be on-the-record, and take place Tuesday, November 1 at 2:30 PM ET. Any materials sent in advance and the contents of the call are embargoed until Wednesday, November 2 at 5 AM ET. 


Please RSVP at press@xxxxxxxx. 


Best, 


Allan 


Allan Rodriguez   


Deputy Press Secretary | U.S. Department of Agriculture
