Makeup of policies, politics changing amid unified push to find solutions in meat markets
WASHINGTON, DC – The world’s largest meat packer considered the makeup of the U.S. meat industry sitting around the table at a recent closed-door and decided they didn’t want to take a seat.
JBS USA, a unit of the Brazilian meat conglomerate JBS SA, has left the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) in a surprise move that comes as the group began taking a harder line on concerns about market consolidation.
The news came as NCBA and other rancher and producer organizations have begun actively lobbying for more transactional transparency in the beef market – including more investigation by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) into the prices cattle producers are getting versus what packers are getting and what consumers are paying.

Twelve anonymous jurors in former police officer Derek Chauvin s murder trial have now found themselves both behind the scenes and at center stage of one of the most significant police brutality trials in American history.
After they reach a verdict on whether Chauvin is guilty in George Floyd s death, the jurors will likely receive an expression of gratitude from Hennepin County District Judge Peter Cahill, a flier on coping with jury duty and little else, according to those familiar with Minnesota courts.
Jurors face heavy stress in many cases, court and trauma experts say, but they are especially vulnerable in high-profile proceedings such as Chauvin s where protesters are demanding a former police officer be sent to prison for more than a decade, while his lawyers have made their case for acquittal.
