The Nebraska Legislature’s Agriculture Committee will hold a public hearing on branding on Friday September 4 in Grand Island. Ag Committee member Senator Al Davis of Hyannis says they’ll be taking testimony from interested parties about modifying fees charged by the Nebraska Brand Committee.

Davis says part of the discussion will center around whether registered feedlots should be assessed fees in a different manner than non-registered feedlots, sale barns and private ranch sales.

Davis says it’s important that those effected by the brand fees make their views known by testifying at the hearing.

The public hearing gets underway at 11 a.m. at the Grand Island City Council chambers.
