Seven state attorneys general and two ag groups will be allowed to file briefs in a lawsuit that challenges a 2019 USDA rule that eliminated line speed limits at swine production facilities.
According to DTN, a court ruling allows friend-of-the-court briefs from attorneys general in Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan and four other states, to support a motion by the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union which is suing USDA over the elimination of line-speed limits.
