[QUOTE="HDRider, post: 1635375, member: 17025"] I am told Prime Act is DOA https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/2859/text Senator Chuck Grassley and others introduced legislation that would require larger meat packers to buy at least half of their weekly beef slaughter on the open market, and mandates that cattle are delivered within 14 days of delivery. This bill is expected to fail. S.3693 — 116th Congress (2019-2020) A bill to amend the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 to foster efficient markets and increase competition and transparency among packers that purchase livestock from producers. Grassley introduced a similar bill in 2002 and 2007 (S.786). Sens. Jon Tester (D-Mont.), Tina Smith (D-Minn.), Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), Mike Rounds (R-S.D.), Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.) and Steve Daines (R-Mont.) co-sponsored the bill. [/QUOTE]
