WASHINGTON — Congressman Dusty Johnson led the debate, and the U.S. House followed by overwhelmingly approving what is called the Cattle Contract Library Act with a vote of 411 to 13.
What this bill does is create a library for cattle contracts, within the USDA’s Ag Marketing Service.
A similar library exists for the pork sector, but cattlemen are currently unaware of contract terms being offered by packers.
But it's what happening after those ships dock, unload and return to sea that's more harmful to Americans and the U.S. economy, according to a bipartisan group of Congressional lawmakers in Washington D.C. that includes South Dakota's lone U.S. Representative, Dusty Johnson.
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — A panel discussion at the Midwest Agriculture Export Summit looked at supply and shipping chain issues. U.S. Representative Dusty Johnson was joined by two other members of Congress talking about ag exports.
Johnson says new legislation looks to crack down on unfair treatment of American agricultural exports.
RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) - Businesses across the country are having difficulty with supply shortages and South Dakota is no exception. It's costing millions of dollars for several businesses. So how will this affect your holiday shopping?
A nationwide supply shortage may make it harder to find what you're looking for.
Representative Dusty Johnson has those same fears and points to Strider Bikes in Rapid City, a business that has particularly felt the impact of the shortage.
More than 10,000 bills get introduced in Congress each year. Most of them, even good ones, don't see legislative action. It's even more challenging to pass a bill when you aren't the political party in power. Despite the long odds, I was able to pass an important cattle industry bill out of committee this week.
