Did you know that it's illegal for Wisconsin meat processors to sell their products across state lines?

Senator Herb Kohl is pushing to change that and was in Eau Claire to talk about it. Currently, only meat processed in U.S.D.A. inspected plants can move between states. Wisconsin is one of 28 states with its own meat inspection program and has 15% of the nation's state-inspected meat plants.

Sales on the internet have also brought about interest in this legislation. Democrats and Republicans are behind the bill, primarily from Midwestern states.
