GIPSA is the federal agency responsible for issuing regulations that govern contracting, buying and selling of livestock and poultry. The proposed rules, if finalized, would drastically change the way that producers, packers, dealers and contractors raise, buy, and sell livestock and poultry.
During the webinar, staff attorneys will provide an overview of GIPSA's proposed rule changes for poultry and livestock, review the GIPSA rule making process, explain how to submit comments for the proposed rules, and end with a question and answer session.
