The North Dakota Stockmen’s Association celebrated 90 years at their annual convention in Minot. NDSA Executive Vice President Julie Ellingson said the organization is excited to celebrate the milestone. “We’re proud of being able to sustain the organization since the 1920s.” Ellingson said the possibility of market manipulation following the Tyson plant fire in Kansas is top of mind for cattle producers going into fall. “We’re pleased to see Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue authorized the investigation into the situation and we understand he’s taking our suggestion to expand the investigation. It looks at the entire beef supply chain. It won’t be a quick progress,” she explained. “Data collection could be at least one month. We probably won’t see anything until the end of the year.”
