House’s ag sub-committee hears testimony on RFS impacts on livestock industry

In Washington, the House’s agriculture sub-committee held a hearing last week about impacts of the RFS on livestock producers, with the USDA sticking up for the RFS saying that though corn prices did increase between 2005 and 2010, energy prices also increased significantly. Poultry producers testified saying that high corn prices are making poultry prices more expensive and unable to beat those of beef and pork.
