Wed, 18 May 2011 20:34:08 CDTU.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Tom Vilsack received a letter from 147 members of the U.S. House of Representatives today, May 18, 2011, regarding USDA's Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration's (GIPSA) proposed rule on livestock and poultry marketing. You can see a full copy of the letter by clicking on the PDF file at the bottom of this story.
The letter, signed by all five members of the Oklahoma Congressional delegation as well 142 other members of the US Congress, calls on the USDA to consider starting over om the so called "GIPSA Rule." The Congressmen write "Withdrawing the June 22, 2010 proposed rule and re-proposing a revised rule once the Department completes its economic analysis would allow the stakebolders the opportunity they deserve to comment on what we hope will be substantial changes to the proposal more consistent with the intent of Congress outlined in the 2008 farm bill."
