Compensation In Livestock Sales Is Ruled Illegal
The Agriculture Department issued regulations making it illegal for meat packers or livestock dealers to charge sellers any compensation for services connected with purchases. The rule, effective around March 1, bans commissions yardage and other service charges, deeming such fees an unfair trade practice under the Packers and Stockyards Act. It protects buyers and sellers by policing livestock markets and notes that in-house yardage facilities benefit the dealer’s profit, harming producers.
