http://www.r-calfusa.com Video of a news conference held June 26, 2009, in Herreid, S.D. on Herman Schumachers front lawn. This section contains speech by Sen. Cap Dierks Nebraska Organization for Competitive Markets (OCM).
Background: Directed by a court order obtained by Tyson Fresh Meats Inc. (Tyson), the U.S. Marshals Service on June 11, 2009, posted a No Trespassing sign and Warning on the front door (or PDF) of the home of South Dakota rancher and cattle feeder Herman Schumacher. Tyson obtained a judgment against Schumacher because Schumacher tried to protect his fellow cattle producers by stopping Tyson from violating the Packers and Stockyards Act. A federal jury unanimously sided with Schumacher, but then a three-judge panel for the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (8th Circuit) overturned the jurys decision. So, in a bizarre twist, Schumacher must now pay Tyson $15,881.38 or Tyson will use the U.S. judicial system to finalize the seizure of Schumachers home.
