A Nebraska cattle producer says there’s been a fundamental shift in the cattle industry. Lee Reichmuth, a director with the US Cattlemen’s Association, tells Brownfield it’s long overdue. “It’s truly kind of a complete change to the industry and obviously where we are today, producers and consumers, we’re both getting hurt,” he says.
He says there have been aggressive steps taken to address producer concerns, including proposed legislation and USDA’s recent announcement to support enforcement of the Packers and Stockyards Act.
