US Department of Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins visited Georgia to announce a new partnership. The goal is to support cattle farmers and meat processors in the state. Rollins stopped by a large sod farm in Carroll County as part of her visit.

The partnership involves a Cooperative Interstate Shipment agreement between the Federal State Inspection Service and the Georgia Department of Agriculture. This agreement will allow small meat processors in Georgia to ship products across state lines for the first time. Further details about the partnership and its potential impact on the local industry are available from Atlanta News First.

The agreement is expected to open up new markets for small meat processors in the state.
