Their butcher, Marvin Rutkowski, has over 30 years of experience and came from another nearby processing plant. One of their fi rst hires was Kim Howard. She had a much different but needed skill, as she was a former state inspector for a while. As director of compliance, Howard explained that one of her jobs is to work with the USDA inspectors to make sure all the regs and protocols are followed so that the plant runs effi ciently and seamlessly when harvest and processing is taking place. “The rules and regulations are tough, but if you follow them and you do everything in the spirit of the law it all works,” Howard told the group. “We’ve never had a non-compliance record for anything that forced us to be shut down.” The USDA inspector is at the plant during all hours of operation. Every single morning the inspector does a pre-op of the kill fl oor and the processing room checking over every knife, every hook with TANK COATINGS ROOF COATINGS Available for metal, composition shin- gles or Tar Roofs.
