Coming Soon To State Near You: Wisconsin Meat Products

Posted on May 9, 2011

A federal regulation that prevents most small meat producers from shipping their products across state lines is being relaxed, and Wisconsin officials are happy.

Meat producers, however, said they're not sure what to make of the new rules.

Donna Gilson, a spokeswoman with the state's agriculture department, said the change will help Wisconsin because it has more small meat producers than any other state does. She also said Wisconsin makes bratwurst and other specialty products that will sell well in other states.

We were surprised to learn that Wisconsin has Meat Hall of Fame. It makes sense, but we were still surprised to learn about it.  We stumbled across the website via a google search after reading this article about the recent passing of Meat Hall of Famer Russell Wenzel.


Wisconsin Meat Industry Hall of Fame members include: Patrick & Michael Cudahy, Oscar G. Mayer, Fred Usinger, Milton Peck, David Drummond, as well as John, George and Ronald Klement.
