Permit Hog Dealers to Charge Service Fees in Hogs
The Office of Price Administration revised the hog price ceiling rules to allow public stockyard dealers to charge normal service fees even if the total price exceeds the hog ceiling. Dealers buying hogs in their own name can collect a tariff-based service charge up to $13 for a 22,000 pound truckload and charge trucking fees to receivers, without raising retail pork prices.
