1:28 The state of South Dakota is using some federal COVID relief money for grants to prop up butchers across the state. The $5 million dollars are split among 99 different businesses. There’s about 5 cattle for every person in South Dakota and that beef’s got to go somewhere. Some hope it’s not large meat packers. “I don’t want any more packers,” Noem says. “I’m sick of packers. In fact, I think packers are stealing from our producers.” That’s Governor Kristi Noem. She, along with folks from the cattle industry are announcing meat processing grand dollars that are going to 99 different lockers, including 16 new businesses in the state. Awards range from $9,000 to $108,000.
