Renting can be difficult for a whole host of reasons: Rental costs are rising, landlords can be strict or unhelpful, there can be pretty high upfront costs, and it can mean you move more often, which can become pretty expensive. And on top of all of that, you have to be very careful with how you decorate your home—that is, if you want your security deposit back.
Tyson to Replace Federal Inspectors With Own Employees at Beef Plant
13.07.2024 - 00:37 / modernfarmer.com / Dan Nosowitz
Back in March 2019, Tyson Foods proposed a waiver in which the work of some federal inspectors would be done by Tyson’s own employees.
This week, Tyson announced that change will indeed begin at its beef processing plant in Holcomb, Kansas. According to Reuters, the duties of more than a dozen federal inspectors will, starting in January at this plant, be conducted by employees of Tyson itself.
This is the first time that this sort of deregulation has been done in a beef processing plant. Previously, a pilot program for five pork processing plants, which included outsourcing of inspections like this, was conducted. Proponents of deregulation—largely the meat processors —have pointed to this program as evidence that such outsourcing can work. That said, the Office of the Inspector General found that the program’s data collection was not maintained properly, and that non-compliance reports were actually extremely high at these pilot program plants.
In any case, the USDA granted the waiver this spring, and Tyson announced that it will be hiring 15 employees per shift to check carcasses for violations. This will go along with a drop in the number of federal inspectors, likely a decrease of more than a dozen, who are, of course, not paid by Tyson. (This is not to conclude that federal inspectors are infallible; Tyson actually sued the USDA in 2019, after finding out that an inspector signed forms without even entering the facility.)
But many, including the former chief veterinarian of the USDA, are concerned. That former USDA vet, Pat Basu, told NBC News that the move is “bypassing standards.” Those in charge of inspections now have a financial tie to the plant’s owners, who have a financial interest in not wanting any

A bountiful hydrangea time, with ken druse
IT’S HYDRANGEA SEASON, and in the Northeast in particular this summer, it’s really been a crazy hydrangea season, with billows of blue bloom from bigleaf hydrangeas on view everywhere, it seems—which is not always the case in colder hardiness zones. It seemed like a good time to review what makes hydrangeas happy, and what hydrangeas make me and my old friend, Ken Druse, happy.
