Egg bill called ‘a very, very scary proposition’
Tyson Redpath is a food and agriculture lobbyist with the Washington D.C. consulting firm The Russell Group. A native of Ohio, Redpath has also served on the legislative staff of current Speaker of the House John Boehner, advising Boehner on policy matters concerning agriculture.
Speaking at the recent Governor’s Ag Conference in Kearney, Nebraska, Redpath called the so-called egg bill in Congress “a very, very scary proposition” and said that hog and cattle producers have good reason to be concerned about the bill. Redpath believes it’s not just about eggs—it’s a platform for HSUS to pursue broader restrictions on animal ag production. And he’s convinced that HSUS will attempt to attach the egg bill language to the next farm bill.
Brownfield’s Ken Anderson visited with Redpath.
