Kaiser, "Of course opening the border to boxed beef helped the packers Oldtimer..... But it happened and you could not stop it. No further court action will stop it next time either. Realise your limitations Oldtimer ---- work for something that you have potential to change. Push for things that could help your producers in the future. Things like more product demand (by testing) and more producer ownership up the chain. "
Opening the border was a huge sell out by the USDA. They made the decision that "trade" and corporate profits are more important than than their congressional mandate, which is to food safety and herd health. I can't think of hardly anything more important than putting the kabosh to this kind of activity. If we let this stand, what is next?
Considering that the CFIA is the USDA's lap dog, are you sure you want this kind of activity to become standard procedure? Take a larger view, here.
