National Farmers Union Communication Director Ross Hettervig says market transparency is a big part of what they’re pushing for in the next farm bill. “We’ve put together our farm bill priorities for 2023 and a big part of that was competition title. For us, that means enforcing laws that are already on the book like the Packers and Stockyards Act.” Outside of the farm bill, Hettervig is keeping an eye on bills working their way through Congress. “There’s a couple of bills related to transparency in livestock markets that are at various stages in the House and Senate.”
