Beef Purchases Win Bedell Backing in Iowa
Iowa cattlemen praise a beef purchase program announced by Secretary Buzz and backed by Congressman Berkley Bedell. Bedell notes the plan aids feeders and will help schools and senior programs, while urging faster enforcement of import quotas to support domestic beef producers and citing concerns over a Puerto Rico FTZ processing plant. He warns that reaching the 1976 import trigger under the Meat Act of 1964 could curb imports.
