Is GIPSA Good For The Swine Industry?

The National Pork Producers Council released a statement, on the eve of the final day for comments, that says the USDA’s Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) rule is not good for the swine industry and consumers.

In its comments, NPPC, which has called the regulation a “bureaucratic overreach,” said that GIPSA lacked authority to, for example, declare that no showing of injury to competition is necessary to establish a violation of the PSA. It pointed out that federal courts have uniformly rejected that view and that Congress rejected a similar provision during debate on the 2008 Farm Bill.

Final comments on the GIPSA ruling are due November 22. Take action.
