Dave Daniels, Director of the Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) is applauding the action announced by USDA on Thursday, August 9, that Ohio would be the first state granted a cooperative agreement under new USDA rules that will allow certain Ohio small businesses to sell products to other states.
In a news release, Director Daniels said that for the state’s small and specialty meat processors, it’s a long overdue opportunity to expand their customer base, without making costly changes to their facilities.
Prior to Thursday’s announcement, specialty meat processors in Ohio, who are inspected daily by the ODA were prohibited to sell products over state lines.
