- AGR-5.4: Pilgrim's Pride pleaded guilty to a conspiracy to fix prices and rig bids for broiler chicken products and was sentenced to a criminal fine of $107,923,572 on February 23, 2021.

- AGR-5.7: On July 16, 2026 the District of Minnesota certified four classes in the beef antitrust litigation, and the Eighth Circuit has agreed to review that certification.
