In the letter, which was addressed to new CFTC Chairman Timothy G. Massad, Commissioner Sharon Bowen, and Commissioner J. Christopher Giancarlo, Senator Cochran urged the new CFTC members to "make hearing and addressing the concerns of agricultural market participants and end users an immediate priority."
