农业部拨款近400万美元扩堪萨斯州肉类加工：10家加工商获资助、最大一笔200万美元
美国农业部（USDA）2026年11月2日在堪萨斯州 El Dorado 宣布，将拨付近400万美元，帮助该州10家肉类加工商扩大产能、加强市场竞争，并为美国牧场主创造新的市场机会。农业部长 Brooke L. Rollins 公布了这一消息；这批资金来自肉类与家禽加工扩产计划（MPPEP）。
这批拨款承接副总统 JD Vance 与 Rollins 此前宣布的全国安排：MPPEP 将向40个州投资5700万美元。国会通知期结束后，农业部开始把资金落实到具体项目，以加强美国国内肉类加工产能与供应链。
Rollins 表示：「在本届政府领导下，我们正在为养活这个国家的人们办实事。资金到位后，牧场主在家门口将有更多选择，市场竞争将回归，美国本土牛肉的更多价值将留在农村社区。」她说，强大、独立的加工部门对美国的粮食安全至关重要。
10家受资助加工商中，金额最大的是位于 Peabody 的 Plainview Beef Company LLC，获200万美元，用于整修和装备新收购的加工厂房，包括加工与冷藏设备、包装贴标、烟熏房与牛肉棒生产线等。其余9家获116,280美元至250,000美元不等：Diamond A Processing LLC（Junction City）182,094美元、Hat Creek Butchery（Plains）249,367美元、Meade Locker & Processing LLC（Meade）249,711美元、Meatworks of Kansas LLC（Riley）228,750美元、Mitchell Bolling（Moran）197,338美元、Randel Inc.（Grinnell）249,845美元、Stroot's Meat Company, Inc.（Goddard 与 Mulvane）250,000美元、T & W Meat Co. LLC（Kingman）250,000美元、Walnut Valley Packing LLC（El Dorado）116,280美元，合计3,973,385美元。
农村企业合作服务局局长 Gimmie Jo Jansonius 表示，这批堪萨斯投资落实了总统关于促进畜牧市场公平竞争、扩大美国肉类生产者市场准入的行政令，农业部正努力让农民和牧场主在市场上有更公平的竞争机会，增加本地食品选择、降低堪萨斯家庭的成本。
MPPEP 由农业部农村发展署下属的农村企业合作服务局管理，向符合条件的独立加工商提供扩产补助。农业部表示，该计划迄今已向独立企业拨付逾2亿美元，相关项目在全国创造了数千个就业岗位。
USDA Invests Nearly $4 Million to Expand Kansas Meat Processing: Ten Processors Funded, Largest Grant $2 Million
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced in El Dorado, Kansas, on November 2, 2026, that it is moving forward with nearly $4 million in investments to help ten Kansas meat processors expand capacity, strengthen competition and create new market opportunities for American ranchers. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins announced the funding, which comes through the Meat and Poultry Processing Expansion Program (MPPEP).
The Kansas awards follow the recent announcement by Vice President JD Vance and Secretary Rollins outlining $57 million in MPPEP investments across 40 states. With the congressional notification period now complete, USDA is beginning to obligate the funds to strengthen America's domestic meat processing capacity and supply chain.
"Under President Trump, this administration is delivering for the men and women who feed our nation. Now that these funds are moving, ranchers will have more options close to home, more competition will return to the market, and more of the value of American-raised beef will stay in rural communities," Rollins said, adding that a strong, independent processing sector is essential to U.S. food security.
The largest single award goes to Plainview Beef Company LLC of Peabody, which will receive $2 million to renovate and equip a newly acquired processing facility, including processing equipment, refrigeration and cold storage, packaging and labeling equipment, smokehouse and beef stick production lines. The other nine awards range from $116,280 to $250,000: Diamond A Processing LLC of Junction City ($182,094), Hat Creek Butchery of Plains ($249,367), Meade Locker & Processing LLC of Meade ($249,711), Meatworks of Kansas LLC of Riley ($228,750), Mitchell Bolling of Moran ($197,338), Randel Inc. of Grinnell ($249,845), Stroot's Meat Company, Inc. of Goddard and Mulvane ($250,000), T & W Meat Co. LLC of Kingman ($250,000) and Walnut Valley Packing LLC of El Dorado ($116,280), for a total of $3,973,385.
Rural Business-Cooperative Service Administrator Gimmie Jo Jansonius said the Kansas investments build on the President's executive order on promoting fair competition in livestock markets and expanding market access for American meat producers, and that USDA is working to give farmers and ranchers a better chance to compete, increasing local food options and lowering costs for Kansas families.
MPPEP is managed by USDA Rural Development's Rural Business-Cooperative Service and provides grants to help eligible independent processors expand capacity. USDA says it has awarded more than $200 million to independent businesses under the program, and that the projects have created thousands of jobs across the country.
