Happy National Truck Driver Day!

From hauling cattle to delivering the essentials that keep our markets and ranches running, truck drivers work hard to keep the supply chain moving. Your long hours, dedication, and commitment to getting the job done are appreciated.

We were pleased to welcome Congressman Tony Wied to Equity Cooperative Sales in Bonduel, Wisconsin, for a firsthand look at the livestock auction market and the important role these markets play in serving producers and the agricultural community.

During his visit, Congressman Wied toured the market, met with members of the Equity team to discuss challenges facing livestock auction markets, and observed the sale in action. A key topic of discussion was the ongoing labor needs of livestock auction markets, providing an opportunity to discuss expanding the H-2A agricultural guest worker program to include livestock auction markets, an issue that could help address workforce challenges facing our industry.

Thank you to Congressman Wied for taking the time to visit, listen, and learn more about the livestock auction industry and the challenges facing markets across the country. Another thanks to Equity Cooperative Livestock Sales Association in Bonduel, Wisconsin for hosting!
