(Des Moines, IA) — Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig is asking U-S Attorney General Merrick Garland to request that the Department of Justice (DOJ) expedite its investigation into potential price disparities and anticompetitive practices in the live cattle market. In a letter to Garland, Naig says the state’s livestock producers have waited for more than one year while the D-O-J investigates the pricing disparities in the cattle market as profits have dwindled.
