Farm bill targets packer feeding in livestock market
Bandstra of the Pella Democrat outlines a bill amending the Packers and Stockyards Act to bar packer feeding by firms with over 1 million dollars in annual gross sales and by retail chains with meat packing operations. It would also ban officers or directors from engaging in packer-feeding, and block contracts that let packers control livestock flow. An Iowa State economist says independent feeders will likely retain major market share as fed beef grows, while a Knoxville judge, Norman R. Hays, has died at 74 after a long judicial career.
