On August 9, 2019, a fire in the Tyson beef packing plant in Holcomb, Kan., led to a major disruption in the American beef supply chain. That was followed, in 2020, by the pandemic, when packing house workers fell ill from COVID across the nation, disrupting things further. U.S. Representative Dusty Johnson has introduced the Cattle Contract Library Act. He joins us for a look at what we learned from recent disruptions in the cattle, packing, and beef industry. He also talks about the role of transparency in solving the problem.
U.S. Representative Dusty Johnson is also proposing legislation that would allow states to use unspent COVID relief monies for infrastructure, disaster relief, and housing projects.

I spoke with him on Wednesday.
