July 30, 2020Part III: Options for Selling Beef Off the RanchThis webinar for beef producers during the COVID-19 crisis focused on non-traditional marketing mechanisms. Even in this time of drought conditions, identifying other marketing avenues may be of benefit. Additionally, discussions regarding state-level inspections have been percolating in NM. The objective of this webinar is to provide NM beef producers with an update regarding current regulations for direct marketing of beef and potential changes in those regulations in the future. The webinar will be hallmarked with a few producers who have built successful businesses based on direct marketing of beef to consumers.
