Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley continues efforts to increase transparency on cattle sales.
As previously reported on the Iowa Agribusiness Radio Network, Senator Grassley sent a letter earlier this month urging Attorney General Merrick Garland to continue a DOJ investigation into the nation?s four biggest meatpackers. Speaking with farm reporters last week, Grassley said he?s now seeking a hearing regarding antitrust concerns in the beef industry.
Grassley says this isn?t the first time he?s requested a hearing on this issue.
Grassley noted he is a longtime advocate for cattle producers and enhanced transparency in the meatpacking industry.
