Rep. Thomas Massie is on the brink of securing a huge win for small farmers.
His PRIME Act is officially included in the 2026 Farm Bill.
If this passes, it will deliver a blow to Big Ag’s stranglehold on the meatpacking industry.
“This would make it easier for local farmers to sell directly to local consumers using a local slaughterhouse.”
How?
It would cut the USDA out of inspections for local processing facilities.
“You don’t need the USDA to inspect a facility that has seven employees.”
“So what I’ve proposed is that you could just have the local health inspection… inspecting these slaughterhouses.”
“As long as you don’t cross state lines, you shouldn’t need the federal government’s involvement in this processing.”
“The good news is, I got that in the Farm Bill.”

New @PGATOUR CEO Brian Rolapp takes another page from his NFL experience by teaming up with NFL Films to do what they do best. Interesting from a business perspective — but also just generally cool content.
@chris_kratovil@SouthwestAir Been a LOVE loyalist & A-Lister for 15+ years. Since 2023, the hospitality has taken a real hit. These changes justified by some mythical surveys feel like the work of Excel bean counters. They may reverse course,with no real differentiator, hard to see how it’ll holds up.
@TomatoTEEJ@SouthwestAir@TheJacobTurner The response, while nice, wreaks of AI.
The em dash / marks, how it calls attention. The LOVE Southwest has banked on is no more.
A bakery owner in Texas brought in $88,000 in a month just selling cinnamon rolls 😮… a major part of her success was creating quality social media content versus outsourcing it to food influencers
Cool to see entrepreneurs succeed like this by putting in work
Social media can be an incredible tool for small business if leveraged properly

“In 1970, cattle ranchers earned 70¢ of every consumer beef dollar. Today, they get just 30¢.”
Cursing is rarely a symbol of low class. It's often a mark of high authenticity.
Evidence: Swearing predicts higher rates of honesty and integrity. It signals a willingness to prize candor over courtesy.
A little profanity shows that you're being real and you do give a damn.
