Editor's Note: This is the first part in a series written by John Munsell of Miles City, MT, who explains how the small meat plant his family owned for 59 years ran afoul of USDA's meat inspection program. The events he writes about began a decade ago, but remain relevant today.
They say that confession is good for the soul. I've been involved in a series of ugly events since my plant in 2002 recalled 270 pounds of ground beef contaminated with E.coli O157:H7 and now want to admit the embarrassing truth for public review.

Great conversation – a lot there that will fit into my concept for neighborhoods and another that is for smaller rural communities. The Market Utility Group – start with ‘end in mind’ -.

Appreciate that the moderators let you talk.
Agree with anti-trust efforts and neighborhood, community groups like you were mentioning is a means to change the public conversation and then vote accordingly.
