Book Description
Excerpt from Farmer Meat Packing Enterprises in the United States All these early attempts to slaughter and process livestock failed for a variety of reasons. Chief among them were lack of Operating capital and member support, poor facilities, inadequate volume of livestock, inexperienced and unskilled management, keen competition, and un satisfactory sales outlets. From 1930 through 1955, 13 cooper ative meat-packing plants began opera tions. Eight of these 13 also failed and for one or more of the same reasons. The remaining 5 of the 13 were still doing business at the beginning of 1957. They had avoided most mistakes made by those that failed. The fact that most of the earlier cooperative plants failed does not mean every such venture is doomed. But it does mean groups of livestock producers, or even established cooperatives, should examine carefully all facets of the situa tion before making any final plans to set up a meat-packing business.
