SUMMARY: The U.S. Senate’s agriculture committee, now chaired by Arkansas Senator John Boozman, has significant ties to major meatpacking companies like Tyson Foods, which has influenced his resistance to curbing their economic power. With Democrats also connected to agriculture firms, particularly Senator Amy Klobuchar’s ties to Cargill, the committee faces challenges in addressing ranchers’ concerns over market competition.
