order to assist them in making informed
production and marketing decisions. In
addition, several Government agencies
that purchase meat for various Federal
programs use this data in making their
purchasing decisions. The information
must be collected, compiled, and
disseminated by an impartial thirdparty, in a manner which protects the
confidentiality of the reporting entity.
AMS is in the best position to provide
this service.
