Johanns audio
I have uploaded some of the interview from Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns' visit to The Packer's Lenexa offices. Here is is the link to download the audio file. Let me know if you have any trouble with the link....
I ask him first about the planting provision of the farm bill and Lance Jungmeyer follows with a question about border inspectors switching from the Department of Homeland Security to APHIS. Johanns follows with some comments about the role of marketing orders in food safety and talks a little about how the USDA's meat inspection system and how it could be a model for the FDA to follow.

March 23, Mainichi (Japan) — Japan asks U.S. to remove Nebraska plant from list of
facilities allowed to export. Japan's government has asked Washington to remove a U.S.
processing plant from a list of facilities authorized to export beef to Japan, officials said Friday,
March 23. Agriculture Minister Toshikatsu Matsuoka also told reporters that Tokyo has asked
Washington to improve inspections before beef is shipped from more than 30 designated
facilities in the U.S. to Japan. Earlier this year Japan said it would suspend beef imports from a
Tyson Foods Inc. plant in the U.S. state of Nebraska, after finding a shipment containing meat
that violated a regulation imposed over mad cow concerns. The U.S. Department of Agriculture
said in a report that the shipment was not from cattle verified as 20 months old or younger, as
required under a Japan−U.S. agreement. After reviewing the report, Japan asked the U.S. to
remove the facility from the list of authorized plants.
