The Direct Act introduced last week by South Dakota Congressman Dusty Johnson if approved will allow state inspected meat to be sold across state lines and allow producers to sell directly to consumers. Johnson says another advantage of his legislation is that it will create numerous small processor opportunities for entrepreneurs.
He says a prime example of what he’s talking about could be done in South Dakota.
Johnson says he hasn’t heard any significant opposition to the DIRECT ACT legislation and that there are several vehicles for getting it over the finish line.

South Dakota Congressman Dusty Johnson has introduced the Direct Interstate Retail Exemption For Certain Transactions or DIRECT ACT. This measure allows state inspected meat to be sold across state lines through e-commerce. South Dakota rancher and National Cattlemen’s Beef Association’s Policy Chair Todd Wilkinson of DeSmet says the DIRECT ACT is badly needed due to the pandemic and the backlog of animals at processing plants.
He’s hoping logic will prevail with this bill and that it can get across the finish line in both the House and Senate and signed by President Biden.
