Judge halts new grain price supports in federal case
A Kansas federal judge issued a temporary restraining order blocking Agriculture Secretary Bergland from enforcing new price support loan rules on six grains until a private grain firm’s lawsuit is resolved. Hiatt Grain and Feed argues the rule allows cooperatives to pool and sell farmers’ grain, sidelining private dealers and disrupting trade. The suit seeks to represent about 1,200 private grain dealers nationwide and challenges the secretary’s authority and the rule’s economic impact.
