Title: Poultry Contracts; Initiation, Performance, and Termination
Abstract: GIPSA is proposing to amend the regulations issued under the Packers and Stockyards Act, 1921, concerning Records To Be Furnished Poultry Growers and Sellers. The regulations list the records live poultry dealers must furnish poultry growers, including requirements for the timing and contents of poultry growout contracts. The proposed amendments would require poultry companies to timely deliver a copy of an offered contract to growers; to include information about any Performance Improvement Plans in contracts; to include provisions for written termination notices in contracts; and notwithstanding a confidentiality provision, allow growers to discuss the terms of contracts with designated individuals.
