National Stockyard Commission Database

Did you know there’s an easily searchable database with virtually every auction barn in the nation’s fee structure?  I ran across it while trying to figure why exactly it is I’m supposed to be so furious over the GIPSA stuff…

It’s somewhat interesting to see what commission rates are normal for various areas of the nation.  I always thought 4% commission through the auction barn was an industry standard.
