Polk County feeders halt summer production over market issues
About ten Polk County fat cattle feeders plan to stop sending cattle to market this summer due to poor market conditions and legislative barriers. Don Hayes of Osceola cites government meat import controls and an outdated beef grading system as key problems. He, along with the Polk County Livestock Feeders Association, urges free enterprise and grading reform to lower consumer prices and speed feeding. Ron Bavill of Hastings will speak at the Platte County Feeder association banquet March 18 at Scotus Memorial Hall, with tickets from directors and the Extension Office.
