Northern Minnesota | Crete - 6/23/2022 18:24 I'm really not arguing one way or the other but how is a market "free" if I have to report price? IF the market were free, no, you would not have to "report price". Normally, the livestock market is free because the price for the animals is self-regulated by many buyers and sellers negotiating openly without hidden or coerced transactions. Since we have only 4 major packers who have no interest in a free market (and the clout/position to ignore free market principles), this would be an attempt to try and remedy the situation.
