The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) today published the final rule for Transparency in Poultry Grower Contracting and Tournaments in the Federal Register. The rule, which requires Live Poultry Dealers – typically large processing companies – to give key information about terms of their agreements to the poultry growers with whom they contract to raise birds, is effective Feb. 12, 2024. USDA shared a preview of the final rule on Nov. 8, 2023.
More information about the rule is available on the Agricultural Marketing Service website. Questions about the rule may be sent to AMS-AskPSD@usda.gov.
USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer, and lender.
