Perdue Calls for Investigation Into Cattle Markets After Kansas Fire
Ag Secretary Sonny Perdue has called for an investigation after the recent fire at the beef processing facility in Holcomb, Kansas.
“I have directed USDA’s Packers and Stockyards Division to launch an investigation into recent beef pricing margins to determine if there is any evidence of price manipulation, collusion, restrictions of competition, or other unfair practices,” Perdue said Thursday.
