Delay in identifying mad cow cases delays control in Britain
The BBC reports that a yearlong delay in properly identifying the earliest mad cow cases allowed spread through beef herds. About 60,000 cases could have been avoided. the first case was seen in 1985, with identification delayed 14 months, and a 1987 senior official raise followed a feed ban that reduced cases. Roy Anderson notes earlier action could have prevented about a third of 170,000 cases.

Tight corporate farm rule urged
Nebraska farmers say agribusinesses are flouting the states ban on corporate farming and they are demanding tougher powers to enforce the prohibition. Prosecutors lack the investigative powers to ferret out illegal corporate farmers, supporters of family farmers said at a legislative hearing Tuesday. About 130 opponents of corporate farms and ranches showed up at the legislature's Agriculture Committee hearing to support a bill introduced by its chairman, Sen. Cap Dierks, with about a half-dozen of them testifying. The bill would give the state attorney general and secretary of state the power to subpoena and compel witnesses to testify in enforcing the constitutional ban approved by voters in 1982. The ban was intended to help preserve family farmers.
