U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley is questioning the motivation behind the National Cattlemen Beef Association’s opposition to his 50/14 cattle market transparency bill.
The legislation, cosponsored by Jon Tester of Montana, would require a minimum of 50 percent of meat packers’ weekly volume to be purchased on the open or spot market and require it to be delivered within 14 days.
The Iowa Republican tells Brownfield his bill is based on feedback from the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association.
