USDA's latest amendment to the Packers
and Stockyards Act faces scrutiny

" Under these
proposed rules,
everyone loses
- the livestock
producer, the
packer and
ultimately the
consumer. "
- JULIE ANNA POTTS
arlier this summer, the US Department
of Agriculture (USDA) proposed a
new rule to promote the Biden-Harris
administration's plan for a fairer, more
competitive and resilient meat and poultry
supply chain. The Fair and Competitive
Livestock and Poultry Markets rule was the

courts and private parties to better determine
what conduct the Packers and Stockyards
Act prohibits. It would function as a workable
guideline on how the prohibitions on unfair
practices will operate and be enforced.
INDUSTRY TAKES A STANCE
Although the rule's intentions are to foster a
fairer market, it's receiving pushback from the
Meat Institute for doing the exact opposite.
" Contrary to USDA's assertion, these
changes would introduce uncertainty into
the market and de-couple the demand signals
producers receive from beef consumers,
including consumers' willingness to pay for
