affect that the contract be
tween Iowa Beef Packers and
Northwest Cattle Feeders, a
conglomerate of six major
feed lots in the Northwest,
could have on the cattle
growing industry.
The feed lot group is
contracted to supply cattle to
Iowa Beef plants in Boise and
Pasco, sharing the profit and
loss from lot to kill. French
said his main concern is that
this concentration of power in
the industry could dictate
prices in the Northwest "up
and down the line" and
expand to all parts of the

"If the Iowa Beef -Northwest
Cattle Feeders combination is
opposed, it should be attacked
on the basis that it is a
monopoly and bad for the
industry." French said.
"I feel very strongly it
would be in the public's best
interest to transfer the land to
the Port," Sumner said. "But
all the DOT can see is all those
potential yards of gravel that
will be there in the future
when they need it."
Kennedy said Sumner has
been working on behalf of the
Port to secure a settlement.
"We've done everything
we've been asked to do as a
community as far as setting
up an industrial park and now
they want to dig a hole in the
middle," Kennedy said.
We'll just have to rassle this
one out."
