CATTLE PRODUCERS PLEASED BY WITHDRAWAL OF ANTI-FREE MARKET USDA RULE
Source: National Cattlemen's Beef Association news release

WASHINGTON - The National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) welcomed the withdrawal of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) proposed rule entitled "Fair and Competitive Livestock and Poultry Markets," announced today by Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. This harmful regulation would have dismantled current cattle marketing agreements, reversed decades of innovation in the cattle industry, and threatened producer profitability.

"Under the 'Bidenomics' agenda, USDA pushed regulations like this one which would have undermined the free market, harmed hardworking cattle producers, and far exceeded the agency's authority granted by Congress," said NCBA Executive Director of Government Affairs Tanner Beymer.

"We are pleased that USDA recognized their failed approach and withdrew this rule. NCBA will continue advocating for sound market principles and we look forward to working with the next Administration on enhancing profitability opportunities for America's cattle farmers and ranchers."
