The USDA is extending the comment period for its proposed new competition rule under the Packers & Stockyards Act by 15 days.
Tanner Beymer with the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association says the later deadline is welcomed news, but it’s not enough. “Because it has such wide-ranging wide sweeping impacts potentially on the industry, we need more than just 75 days to be able to put together that industry feedback,” he says.
