Klemme,however, is among those who hope the Iowa law will help prompt Congress toenact a nationwide system for livestock price reporting.Critics say the bill fails to establish penalties against meatpackers whichengage in price discrimination against small, family farmers. Representative Marcella Frevert is a democrat from Emmettsburg and says theyare removing independant family farmers and asking for monopolistic controlover the food chain.
