Two groups say a new final rule published Friday (today) is bad for cattle and poultry producers. USDA Undersecretary Greg Ibach says the rule defines undue or unreasonable preferences or advantages under the Packers and Stockyards Act and clarify USDA’s enforcement mechanisms that ultimately work to benefit everyone in the supply chain.
R-CALF USA’s Bill Bullard tells Brownfield this new rule favors the packers and the USDA has put it in concrete, so they want the rule reversed or nullified.
