WASHINGTON, D.C. — The National Chicken Council is throwing its weight behind the Trump Administration’s 2026 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions, expressing strong approval for the White House’s push to cut back on federal oversight of the poultry industry.
A key part of that support involves the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s plans to do away with three regulations that were put in place during the Biden administration under the Packers and Stockyards Act. The chicken industry group says those rules pose a serious risk to a business model it describes as both efficient and effective.
According to the council, the current industry structure benefits farmers financially while also helping to hold down the cost of chicken at grocery stores and restaurants across the country. The organization argues that the Biden-era rules, if left in place, would undermine that system.
By backing the administration’s deregulatory agenda, the National Chicken Council is aligning itself with broader efforts by the Trump White House to reduce the number of federal rules governing American industries.
