The National Chicken Council issued a statement today following the United States Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Marketing Service decision to postpone implementation of new poultry industry regulations by 18 months.
The federal rule, officially titled “Poultry Grower Payment Systems and Capital Improvement Systems,” had been scheduled to become effective on July 1, 2026. However, the Agricultural Marketing Service announced the delay after conducting a review of the regulation’s potential financial impact on the poultry industry, which was initially proposed in March.
