I know I said I'd set here, but you seem to be set on this. I don't really understand it. Except it seems to be government regulations, I thought we were for deregulation. ..

In what universe does government regs keep business small??? I'm sorry but that's just a ridiculous idea. The most regulated business s in the country are the biggest and most monopolist. Untill they get regulated enough they become government departments.
I think ag needs more competition that's for sure.
I also reckon the big Packers have already figured out how to exploit this. And we won't be free to do anything about it because it's a regulation.
Their economies of scale make the regulations more affordable to the giants. They spread their cost over a larger basis.callmefence said:I believe we need to stop all import of foreign goods possible, and be prepared for the consequences on the export side. You gotta break a egg to make a omelette.

Great post brother! You explained this situation, as complex as it is, dang well.HDRider said:callmefence said:HDRider said:Do we want this? I do

I been following it as while. It took me awhile to understand it.
By bidding cash prices it sets the price for other transactions within the same time frame.
It is a more real time price. That is a double edge sword. I have not heard anyone say this, but I could see cash price bids being lower than contract prices if there was a cattle glut. That said, contract prices would kick in first, and then any remaining demand, but no less than the legal minimum (30 or 50%) would be cash bids.
Now so many prices are set by future contracts and may or may not reflect the potential sales value at the time of the sale.
Regard wanting less regulations. Nothing is black and white. Regulations are what built these mega processors. Instead of saying "we want no regulations" (and I know this will grind your gizzard), but we want regulations in place that give protection to a fair and equitable market. The overwhelming power wielded by the packers now puts everyone else at a big disadvantage.
If we had no regulations almost every industry would eventually be dominated by one giant player, a monopoly. One car company, one computer company, one beef company, one drink manufacturer, and so on. In no small part that is what we are seeing now. More and more consolation is happening every day

Small businesses cannot afford to comply.

You need to call. A letter is better than an email, but from what I've read a phone call is best.
