First and foremost, small processing plants will never, let me repeat that, never compete with the large plants on cost efficiency. But a series of smaller plants will be less susceptible to the disruptions that happened in the spring of 2020. Grandin offers the following points that have been synthesized into a few sentences.
Use the craft beer industry as a model: Go niche
During the restrictions placed upon restaurants and bars, craft brewers innovated and moved their dining outside so they could still sell their draft beers. More importantly craft brewers have been able to coexist with the Anheuser-Busch InBevs because they offer beers that the large brewers do not. That is the definition of a niche. And you must have one to justify the higher prices you charge to cover your production costs. “Locally raised by farm families”is your niche.

The 2021 fair schedule was recently announced by the Ohio Department of Agriculture, although it is unknown what the fairs will look like next year.
Katie Boyer, Department of Agriculture public information officer, said it is unknown as to what restrictions will be put on the 2021 fairs.
“There have been no new orders issued, but the current order still stands, as it’s indefinite,” she explained. “There’s been no mention as to when this current order expires.”
Some Ohio livestock producers will be looking to apply manure to farm fields frozen enough to support application equipment. Permitted farms are not allowed to apply manure in the winter unless it is an extreme emergency, and then movement to other suitable storage is usually the selected alternative. Thus, this information is for manure from non-permitted livestock operations.
In the Grand Lake St Marys watershed, the winter manure application ban from Dec. 15 to March 1 is still in effect. Thus, no manure application would normally be allowed from now until March 1. The ban also prohibits surface manure application anytime the ground is frozen or snow-covered in that watershed.
