State meat inspections boost small producers in Minnesota
Jodi Yotter markets Porkmobiles to sell farm fresh pork directly to consumers, aided by a year-old state meat inspection program. The Yotters and Lorentz Meats expanded capacity for brand labeling and direct sales, bypassing four middlemen and USDA limits, with sales near 190000 dollars last year.
