By next year, JMG Wholesale Meats plans to start selling products on the Internet, to customers across the country - something they have been prevented from doing in the past." JS Online: Meat sales to go cross-country

Now, thanks to a provision in the farm bill passed by Congress this month, small, local meat plants such as JMG will be able to sell across state lines, without federal inspection. The farm bill provision eliminates a 30-year-old law banning state-inspected meats from crossing state lines.

"Today is a day a lot of us in the meat industry have been hoping about for a long time," said Rob Noerenberg, business manager for JMG.
