Senate Ag Committee to hold cattle market transparency hearing

IARN — The Senate Agriculture Committee is holding a hearing Wednesday afternoon that will examine the cattle market.

During his conference call with farm reporters Tuesday morning, Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley said he’s pleased the committee is looking into unfairness in the cattle market after he’s called on colleagues for months to take a closer look at the industry.

Wednesday’s hearing begins at 1:30 p.m. Central Time. Grassley says it presents an opportunity to educate senators and the public on the “dire issues family farmers are facing while up against Big Cattle.”
