Jim, are you...http://agpolicy.org/weekcol/581.html<br /><br />Jim, are you getting paid for this opinion? If we had true market forces at work and there was a demand for cattle with x characteristics by the market, if the current meat packers won't produce for it then let someone else.<br /><br />Certified Angus products have garnered a premium because they could be justified by the market at the consumer level.<br /><br />We have way too much concentration in the meats industry and your administration could not clearly win a case against meat packers who were discriminating against the price setting cash market. As a matter of fact, the lady prosecuting it disappeared after she was found to be lying to Congress and saying she was investigating things her administration wasn't.<br /><br />There is way too much corruption in D.C. and way too much bought opinion. It is the reason our economy is in the mess it is in.<br /><br />TomTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13428340465277050567noreply@blogger.com
