Latest Beef Industry News USDA To Require More Proof For Animal-Raising And Environmental Claims Companies that tout certain animal-raising and environmental claims on meat and poultry labels will need more documentation, according to updated guidelines from the USDA. The agency said the move aligns with efforts to protect consumers from misleading labels and supports President Biden's Executive Order on Promoting Competition in the American Economy. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack emphasized that these updates promote transparency and fairness, ensuring that consumers can trust the labels on meat products. The guidelines “strongly encourage” third-party certification to validate claims such as "Raised Without Antibiotics," "Grass-Fed," "Free-Range," and "Climate-Friendly.” USDA Authorizes First H5n1 Cattle Vaccine Field Study The USDA has authorized the first field trials for an H5N1 vaccine designed specifically for use in cattle. USDA's Center for Veterinary Biologics (CVB) has issued public notice that it is “now accepting submissions for field studies to support conditional or full licensure of nonviable, non-replicating vaccines.” Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said in Boone, Iowa, at the annual Farm Progress Show, that there are “a number of companies that have been working on vaccines, and one company has now presented sufficient information to the USDA to allow me to authorize, the first field trial of a vaccine for cattle H5N1 for safety purposes.” The initial field study of nonviable, non-replicating vaccine against highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 is to be administered to dairy cattle to evaluate safety. “This would be the first field safety study for a bovine specific H5N1 vaccine and the first time a HPAI vaccine field study would be conducted outside a laboratory setting or on any type of commercial farm in the United States,” USDA said. The agency emphasized that the field trials will only involve “non-viable, non-replicating vaccines” that do not cause virus shedding. Cattle vaccinated thereby can not transmit virus to other animals, milk, meat, people or into the environment, and these cattle and their products will stay in normal production. USDA Expects Continued High Beef Imports From Uruguay Into 2025 The United States has grown rapidly as a market for Uruguayan beef, a trend likely to continue into next year, according to a new report from the USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS). Uruguay has recently jumped to sixth among the countries of origin for US beef imports, mostly frozen boneless, as “a profitable market which helps local meat packers compensate for lower exports at weaker prices to China. Mcdonald's — Value In The U.S., Big Burgers Elsewhere According to meating place dot com, for much of the summer of 2024, McDonald's has marketed “value” in the U.S., seeing lower-income consumer traffic drop noticeably as food inflation has risen. The dynamic has eroded the fast-food giant's original reason for being as a low-cost convenience for busy families. In other markets it's the flip side of the coin: McDonald's is rolling out its decadently large Big Arch burger in Canada and, reportedly, other international markets, such as Portugal. By “decadent,” the Big Arch boasts a half-pound of Canadian beef patties, three slices of “white processed cheese,” crispy onions and slivered onions, pickles, lettuce and delicious “Big Arch” sauce. It weighs in with 1,030 calories just by itself. It also contains 96% of the recommended daily fat intake for the average adult. McDonald's has been testing the sandwich in non-U.S. markets since May. RanchChannel.Com Now Has The Futures Markets Futures Markets RanchChannel.com now has futures markets at your fingertips!

For decades the FTC relied on its adjudicatory authority, applying its expertise on a case-by-case basis in administrative litigation, but now, FTC leadership seems to be shifting away from litigation to “legislative-style” rulemaking. What does that mean in practical terms? In this episode, co-hosts Jana Seidl and Alicia Downey speak with Adam White, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, and co-director of George Mason University's Gray Center for the Study of the Administrative State, about what FTC rulemaking looks like and what we can expect. Listen to this episode to learn more about how FTC rulemaking started, how it evolved, recent changes to the process, and where the FTC may be headed with rulemaking.

Jeremy Kress is Assistant Professor of Business Law at Michigan Ross and Co-Faculty Director of the University of Michigan's Center on Finance, Law & Policy. Jeremy joins Lee to discuss how policymakers' long-standing approach to bank antitrust—premised on consumer welfare—has reduced the cost and availability of basic financial services and ignores numerous non-price harms stemming from bank consolidation. Jeremy details how the Chicago school of antitrust and its focus on consumer welfare came to dominate bank merger review, the impact of fintech on bank competition, and recent policy actions that foreshadow a more stringent review of bank mergers going forward.

The DOJ pulling out of its antitrust settlement with NAR seems like bad news for the industry. But what if it could be an opportunity? Michael Wurzer is the CEO of FBS, the leading innovator of MLS technology. Prior to FBS, Michael spent seven years practicing law in California and Minnesota, working in corporate law, litigation and serving as Assistant General Counsel for Aveda. On this episode of Industry Relations, Michael shares his unique perspective on the DOJ withdrawal, discussing the Biden administration's intent to refocus on antitrust principles and the need for smaller, independent businesses to ensure competition in any sector. Michael explains how organized real estate might engage with regulators, describing how MLSs could serve as labs of experimentation to promote transparency and competition in the industry. Listen in to understand the challenge of overcoming what Rob calls the regulatory mindset and find out how real estate can take an offensive posture with the FTC, working together to innovate around Brandeis and Patman's antitrust ideals. What's Discussed: The intent of the Biden administration to refocus on antitrust principles Why industries need smaller, independent businesses to ensure competition How the competitive nature of the MLS benefits NAR in negotiating with the DOJ Why Michael sees an opportunity for the industry to engage with regulators How MLSs might serve as labs of experimentation to promote transparency and competition The concerns around Ben Harris' advocacy for delinking of commissions How a willingness to experiment would be a good defense for government intervention Rob's concern that the regulatory mindset won't allow for such a nuanced approach Why Michael doesn't see NAR or large MLSs as Goliaths to be broken up Connect with Michael: FBS Michael on Twitter Connect with Rob and Greg: Rob's Website Greg's Website Resources: FBS Summit Justice Department Withdraws from Settlement with the National Association of Realtors Goliath: The 100-Year War Between Monopoly Power and Democracy by Matt Stoller Chicago School of Economics ‘Amazon's Antitrust Paradox' by Lina M.

The Department of Justice pulled out of its proposed settlement with NAR and President Biden has issued an executive order addressing ‘exclusionary practices' in real estate. Now, more than ever, NAR will need to exercise its political power to fight off FTC regulations. But how much political pull does the organization really have? On this episode of Industry Relations, Rob explains why he thinks NAR is the weakest it's ever been politically, discussing how changes to the Code of Ethics harmed the organization's unity and what that might mean for contributions to RPAC. Greg offers the counterargument that NAR's record-high membership is a reflection of its political capital, and our hosts explore the concerns professional staff and academics in DC have raised around real estate for the last 20 years. Listen in to understand how the insanity of the 2020 housing market might influence the way the public thinks about real estate and learn what you should be doing to combat potential government regulations or plan for lower commissions moving forward.

It's a Republic if you can keep it. Not if Mark Zuckerberg can. On a new "Right Now with Stephen Kent," Stephen sits down with Robby Soave of Reason magazine and writer Nate Hochman for a conversation about how much of a threat Facebook, Twitter, and Google pose to our democracy; if and how we should amend Section 230; the murky area of who gets to censor what on social media; if Donald Trump lost his influence after he was de-platformed; and whether big tech's influence on our day-to-day lives will worsen in the future.

Early this month, in an unprecedented move, the Department of Justice pulled out of its proposed settlement with NAR. And soon thereafter, President Biden issued an Executive Order on Promoting Competition in the American Economy. An executive order with a specific clause concerning ‘exclusionary practices in the brokerage or listing of real estate.' So, what's going to happen next? On this episode of Industry Relations, Rob and Greg discuss what Biden's executive order means for real estate, describing the kind of regulations the FTC might impose on the industry in 2022. They address the influx of institutional capital in real estate in the last two years, exploring what that could mean for buyer's agent commissions and why it actually might be good for NAR's renegotiation with the DOJ. Listen in for insight on the need for price discrepancy between a good and bad buyer's agent and get Rob and Greg's opposing predictions on how the government might change the rules around cooperation and compensation—or not. What's Discussed: How the DOJ reneged on its settlement with NAR and why it's a big deal What Biden's executive order on competition means for real estate The ideas re: concentration of power behind the Bradeis movement Why Rob thinks the real estate lobby is at its weakest right now Greg's prediction that mortgage banks will step in to keep buyer's agent commissions the same The influx of institutional capital in real estate in the last two years (and why that might be good for NAR's renegotiation) The number of new business models designed to help consumers buy, sell and finance homes Rob's view that institutional investors will support the elimination of buyer's agent commissions The lack of price discrepancy between a good and bad buyer's agent in real estate Rob's thought experiment re: whether the rich need buyer's agents Rob's prediction that the FTC will issue proposed regulations for real estate Connect with Rob and Greg: Rob's Website Greg's Website Resources: Blockchain and Real Estate on Notorious POD EP022 Propy Justice Department Withdraws from Settlement with the National Association of Realtors Rob's Post on the DOJ Pulling Out of Its Settlement with NAR, Part 1 Rob's Post on the DOB Pulling Out of Its Settlement with NAR, Part 2 Biden's Executive Order on Promoting Competition in the American Economy ‘Amazon's Antitrust Paradox' by Lina M.

What impacts will the sweeping Executive Order on Promoting Competition have on companies? In this episode of Winston & Strawn's Competition Corner Podcast, Attorneys Molly Donovan, David Dahlquist, Susannah Torpey, and Kevin Goldstein discuss the Order's directives and recommendations targeting labor markets, the tech sector, and the healthcare and life sciences industries.
On July 9, 2021, President Biden signed a far-reaching executive order aimed at promoting competition in the American economy. With directives covering a dozen agencies and establishing a new White House Competition Counsel, the Executive Order will impact many different sectors, including technology, healthcare, agriculture, labor, and beyond. At the same time, there are several antitrust developments in the US that suggest that political interest in antitrust is not going away any time soon, and even more reform efforts are likely to be on the horizon. In our 14th episode, podcast host Jenn Mellott speaks with Bruce McCulloch and Justin Stewart-Teitelbaum to discuss these developments and what they mean for businesses.
In this episode, we discuss President Biden's July 9, 2021 Executive Order, “Promoting Competition in the American Economy,” and what it means for trade secret protection. We also unpack the definition of “use” of trade secrets under the Defend Trade Secrets Act.
On Friday July 9, 2021, President Biden signed a much-anticipated Executive Order on Promoting Competition in the American Economy. The Order is ambitious in spirit, but its true impact on employers seems to depend on exactly how the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) interprets and applies its mandate. In this podcast, Brent Cossrow and Dave Walton, partners in the Philadelphia office of Fisher Phillips and its Employee Defection and Trade Secrets practice group, sit down to discuss their initial reactions, including questions of how the FTC projects to respond, whether the Order creates a private right of action, and how the Order might eventually be used in civil litigation.

President Biden signed his new Executive Order on ‘Promoting Competition in the American Economy' on July 9. A particularly wide-ranging and comprehensive Order, it includes 72 initiatives and recommendations for actions by 12 agencies, with key focus areas in technology and financial services, in addition to others in healthcare, agriculture, transport and more. We discuss some of the potential ramifications, including the focus on technology platform business models and data accumulation, a portent to Open Banking, and the requirement for the US Treasury to report on how the activities of big technology companies and non-banks affect competition in finance within the next nine months. We also discuss the political dynamics of the Executive Order and the process ahead, and how the focus on technology firms compares to initiatives in Europe and China.

President Biden signed an executive order last week aimed at boosting competition between businesses and discouraging monopolies. The order includes 72 initiatives, which will encourage the FTC to reinstate net neutrality rules, require airlines to disclose hidden fees, allow cheaper medications to be imported from Canada, and more. The CDC issued guidelines for school districts to reopen this fall, while allowing local officials to tighten or loosen restrictions given factors like regional vaccination rates. There is a bump in cases of coronavirus in the U.S. right now, however, driven by pockets with lower vaccination rates. And in headlines: turmoil in Haiti following the President's assassination, record-high temperatures in the West, and Sir Richard Branson goes to space.

On this episode of “The Breakdown,” NLW analyzes President Joe Biden's “Factsheet: Executive Order on Promoting Competition in the American Economy,” including: The shift in public sentiment against Big Tech The order's implications to the tech and finance sectors Crypto's decentralized nature as intrinsically anti-monopolist For a period of time, tech companies enjoyed the highest public opinion among large corporations. However, the rise of ad-focused platforms and the advent of social media (with all its demons) encouraged increased scrutiny. Privacy concerns only add to the distaste toward companies including Amazon, Google, and Facebook. With public opinion souring, governments are similarly implementing various regulation schemes as they become wary of the threat of monopolization. Take Europe, for example, which created the General Data Protection Regulation system, and China's more aggressive actions against social media. The U.S. has dabbled in tightening its reins on big tech with an assortment of antitrust lawsuits, but President Biden's recent executive order takes the mentality to a new level. The public mindset and regulatory shift places crypto as the potential solution to concerns of monopolization. Crypto's decentralization – its lack of CEOs and corporate power structures – make it an attractive path away from monopolies in the American economy. -- Enjoying this content?
