Then attend this CRITICAL WOLF PACK MEATS MEETING! Wed, 26 Oct 2011 00:14:54 +0000 http://www.greatbasinfood.coop/?page_id=3011#comment-1551 [...] If you eat meat but haven’t given it much thought, NOW IS THE TIME or else we risk using the only processing facility in Northern Nevada which allows local ranchers to sell to YOUR co-op! Sure, everyone is selling grass-fed beef these days but NO OTHER RETAIL STORE in Reno is SELLING NEVADA BEEF!! If the University of Nevada-Reno President, Marc Johnson cuts Wolf Pack Meats from the budget it will greatly impact our community’s ability to purchase local meat in anything smaller than a 1/4 cow at a time! People may think it’s no big deal now, but we do not want to wait until the USDA stops subsidizing the commercial meat market and we have to pay the real price for poisoned meat in America…or we continue our trend for the last few decades and allow big agro-corporate farms to put every small rancher out of business until we have NO ACCESS to fresh, high-quality, local meat. COME TO THE MEETING, TELL YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY AND CO-WORKERS! If you can’t make it be sure to send your comments about this very important cause to UNR’s President MARC JOHNSON – marc.johnson@unr.edu [...] [...] If you eat meat but haven’t given it much thought, NOW IS THE TIME or else we risk using the only processing facility in Northern Nevada which allows local ranchers to sell to YOUR co-op!

The Organic Division of the Nevada Department of Agriculture must survive and small businesses (i.e., local organic farmer) must be saved from budget cuts. The people of Nevada deserve local nutritious food that is not poisoned by hormones and chemicals. Small businesses deserve to survive. Please pass the Tester Amendment and Manager’s Amendment.
