Governor Stitt and Secretary Arthur tell AG Garland that cattle producers in Oklahoma and other states are very concerned that the major meat packers in the US are manipulating the market- saying "this investigation is necessary to determine what, if any manipulattion, collusion or other illegal activity may be occurring and ensure market transparency."


In the letter, they also ask the AG to make sure that the investigation goes forward- adding that "if any market manipulation does exist, it is vital for the continuation of the American beef industry that it be identified and fairness in the market be restored."
