Economic Review of GIPSA Proposed Rules Requested

Thu, 09 Sep 2010 17:37:21 CDT

U.S. Rep. Jack Kingston of Georgia has asked U.S. Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack to conduct a sound economic analysis of the livestock marketing rules proposed by the Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration. In a letter to Vilsack, Kingston said - it is unprecedented for a federal agency to propose such a wide-sweeping regulation and not conduct an economic analysis. Kingston believes the agency is circumventing the intent of Congress by going beyond recommendations in the 2008 Farm Bill.


In his letter, Kingston wrote, - anyone who witnessed the recent Livestock, Dairy and Poultry Subcommittee hearing on the administration's proposed rule got the message that there are broad, bipartisan concerns that the proposed rule goes far beyond the scope of the 2008 Farm Bill, lacks a sound economic analysis necessary to judge the need and utility of the proposed rule and may be the result of a flawed rulemaking process.


Colin Woodall, Vice President of Government affairs for the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, says - cattle producers need to urge their elected officials to follow the lead of Kingston and others. USDA has yet to offer any type of economic or legal clarification to the rule.
