In what could be a setback for the local-food movement, independent farmers say they are having trouble arranging for slaughter.
I find portions of this article somewhat problematic, even suspicious, particularly this statistic: "According to the United States Department of Agriculture, the number of slaughterhouses nationwide declined from 1,211 in 1992 to 809 in 2008, while the number of small farmers has increased by 108,000 in the past five years."
Food for thought, at the very least!
