A cattle producers rally is being held in Omaha today co-sponsored by several ag groups including the Organization for Competitive Markets, the Independent Cattlemen of Nebraska and R CALF USA. Speaking at the event is R CALF CEO Bill Bullard. He says the U.S. cattle industry is teetering on the edge of an impending economic crisis.
He says one of the solutions Congress and the Administration needs to look at is restoration of Mandatory Country of Origin Labeling.
Bullard says cattle prices are at their lowest level in several years and the cost of production for ranchers continues to rise.
Also helping sponsor today’s rally, the Illinois and Wisconsin Farmers Unions and Farm Aid.
