Many Iowa cattlemen are hopeful Congress will advance a cattle reform bill before the November 8th midterm elections.
Matt Deppe is executive director of the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association. “The momentum is there. The question is going to be whether we can fit this into a priority list of different legislative bills that can hit both the Senate and House bill in 18 days,” he said.
Republican US Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa sponsors the bill, and tells Brownfield the legislation has bipartisan support, but, “We got to get (Chuck) Schumer to put it on the agenda,” Grassley said.
