“AMI is pleased that the bill passed. Its provisions further enhance the reporting program,” said AMI Senior Vice president of Legislative Affairs Mike Brown. “This was a long process, but the success of the bill’s passage can be attributed to consensus building efforts established by House Agriculture Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) and Ranking Minority Member Colin Peterson (D-MN), as well as exhaustive due diligence by Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) and Iowa Senators Charles Grassley (R-IA) and Tom Harkin (D-IA).
The bill included provisions supported by the National Cattleman’s Beef Association, the National Pork Producer's Council, the American Farm Bureau Federation and the American Sheep Industry Association.
