Abstract

The Legislature abolished the Maine Meat Act in 1979, moving the state to a system of federal inspection of meat and meat products that allows Maine meat to be sold out of state. Bob Bowen of Brooksville claims the move has forced small farmers out of the red meat market because it forces them to rely on widely scattered federal inspection stations, making it too inconvenient to do anything but sell their meat wholesale to the slaughterhouse. Details.
