There is a lot packed into this announcement from the USDA, so be sure to give it a read, but this is the highlight that sticks out the most for me. It is and has been the goal of a lot of Grain Chains across the country:
In order to be more resilient, the food system of the future needs to be more distributed and local. Having more capacity to gather, process, move and store food in different geographic areas of the country will provide more options for producers to create value-added products and sell locally, which will support new economic opportunities and job creation in rural communities.
Without a doubt, we are on board!
