Kansas keeping cattle headed straight to hometown plants lines up with the steady local supply chains rural counties actually count on.

Keeping processing closer to the ranches helps ranchers and keeps those jobs local. Good move.
Good to see Kansas plants getting the edge so ranchers can sell closer to home.
