Will Obama Administration Force GIPSA Rule Through Without Considering All Comments Made Pro and Con?
Fri, 17 Sep 2010 6:11:34 CDT
Cattle producers from across the country gathered in Washington, D.C. this week for the 2010 NCBA Legislative Conference. They heard from a variety of speakers- including Kansas Senator Pat Roberts as well as the Administrator of GIPSA, Dudley Butler.
One of those in attendance was Scott Dewald of the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association. Dewald talked with us about the events of this week at the NCBA Conference- and he says clearly the topic most cussed and discussed was the proposed GIPSA Marketing Rule for Livestock. After the cattlemen heard from Butler, there was worry that the Obama Administration has already made their mind up and will possibly ignore any and all comments made about the proposal that does not agree with the m and how the rule is written.
We focus in on those concerns raised by Dewald- and get some GIPSA Rule Reaction from Oklahoma Congressman Frank Lucas, who promises aggressive oversight of the Obama USDA if he is Chairman of the House Ag Committee. He warns Dudley Butler and others at GIPSA- "Don't Slam it through which is the temptation of the Administration right now." Dewald and Lucas are featured on today's Beef Buzz.
The Beef Buzz is a regular feature heard on radio stations around the state on the Radio Oklahoma Network- but is also a regular audio feature found on this website as well. Check out our archives for older Beef Buzz shows covering the gamut of the beef cattle industry today. Just click on the Beef Buzz button found on the left hand side of any page on this website.
