CATTLE RAISERS DISAPPOINTED WITH EPA DECISION

Cattleman, The, Sep 2008

"We are extremely disappointed with the EPA's decision to deny the request by Gov. Perry to waive a portion of the renewable fuel standard (RFS)," said Jon Means, TSCRA president.

"This decision by the EPA clearly demonstrates a lack of understanding of how the RFS contributes to high grain costs, which are severely impacting our industry in a negative way. It also shows that the federal government is willing to continue putting food and fuel in competition with one another, which is a dangerous gamble.

"TSCRA appreciates the leadership that Governor Perry showed in trying to provide relief to the livestock industry across the nation.

"We look forward to working on the passage of federal legislation that will correct these artificial market supports and put cattle raisers back on a level playing field."
