What started as an unprecedented meeting between members of American Farm Bureau and America’s cattle organizations has turned into meaningful legislation that is looking to dramatically change how cattle are marketed. These changes would give more transparency to the process and more income for the farmer. On this week’s Our Ohio Weekly, we talk about the issues involving cattle marketing and what is being done in Washington D.C. to give livestock producers a more fair market in the future.
Guests - Scott Bennett, Director of Congressional Relations with American Farm Bureau
Brandon Kern, senior director of state and national policy for Ohio Farm Bureau
Dr. Juan Leon, Chief of the Ohio Department of Agriculture’s Division of Meat Inspection
