Establishes a meat production justice grant program
This bill creates a grant program in Missouri to help beef and pork producers improve their facilities and operations. To qualify, producers must already hold specific quality assurance certifications and agree to maintain them for five years while adhering to sustainable practices. The program prioritizes producers with the greatest financial need and requires regular compliance checks, with funds only available if the state legislature approves them.
