Poultry regulations targeted
On Friday ten members of the Georgia Congressional Delegation sent a bipartisan letter to Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Sonny Perdue urging him to rescind harmful Grain Inspection, Packers & Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) rules issued in the 11th hour of the Obama administration.
The bi-partisan letter urged Secretary Perdue to check and rescind three poultry-related regulations, which would inflict billions of dollars of economic harm to American agriculture, exceed GIPSA’s statutory authority, and represent an arbitrary and capricious abuse of federal regulatory authority.
With the impact of these regulations on Georgia’s poultry industry, these members of the Congressional Delegation reiterated their priorities to cut burdensome regulations and to promote American businesses.

More accurately, the signees of the letter allege that three poultry-related regulations, if left in place, would inflict billions of dollars of damage, etc.
Like so much of everything these days, you have to be a specialist to understand what’s being disputed. One reg change mentions a ‘poultry tournament system’, which sounds a lot like a cockfight but probably isn’t.
