He says Iowa’s cattle industry already faces tough regulations and has responded positively to those.
The Iowa Policy Report also called for throwing out the Master Matrix. Trowbridge says that system has worked well and should be left in place.
Trowbridge says the Master Matrix is a very thorough and science based program.
