The Nebraska Farm Bureau (NEFB) has urged Attorney General William Barr to probe the possibility that meat packers are illegally manipulating prices in U.S. cattle markets amid the CCP virus pandemic.
The largest farm organization in the state asked the Department of Justice (DOJ) to launch a “full investigation” in a letter (pdf) addressed to Barr on April 14. It stated that an investigation would ensure the cattle meat packing industry is in compliance with the federal antitrust laws targeted to maintaining a competitive marketplace.
