The Packers & Stockyards Act of 1921 applied to the hog industry of 1995

Article Abstract:

The Secretary of Agriculture and the Packers & Stockyards Administration should use the Packers & Stockyards Act of 1921 to protect independent hog producers that may be harmed by the anticompetitive behavior of larger producers. The Act was adopted to ensure that farmers received a fair market price for their goods. The burden of proof for harm to competition claims is difficult to meet, but some courts have found that an actual injury need not be proven. Federal agencies should make use of the broad authority that Congress intended to grant under the Packers & Stockyards Act.
