The USDA recently launched a pilot program that will allow local or independent beef processing facilities the ability to get official USDA Grading… remotely. Lia Biondo & Patrick Robinette with the US Cattlemen’s Association join me today to talk about the details of this pilot program.  How it came about, how it will function, and why they believe it to be a major game changer for so many in the cattle industry. Who benefits from Remote Grading at your local independent beef processing facility?  Listen in as we learn about the details and what it means to us as beef producers.  See links below for additional resources.
