Grassley hears cattle market concerns, priorities at Iowa State Fair

Republican US Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa and the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association are continuing their push for the Cattle Price Discovery and Transparency Act.

In a meeting at the Iowa State Fair Monday morning, Senator Grassley said one of the top priorities for the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association is getting cattle slaughtered in a timely manner. He tells Brownfield his bill addresses their concern.

“Presently, if you are a cash sale person, you want a negotiated daily price as opposed to contracting,” Grassley said.
