UNDATED - United States agricultural officials couldn't accept Russian conditions Friday for a temporary lift of Russia's ban on U.S. poultry imports.<br>
<br>
One of the conditions apparently involved Russian agricultural officials certifying individual U.S. flocks. U.S. officials said it would be a nightmare and would take months to finish.<br>
<br>
The two sides were expected to continue talks over the weekend.<br>
<br>
Senator Max Cleland has called Russian questions about the safety of American poultry, "totally baseless." <br>
<br>
Mar-Jac Poultry in Gainesville estimated it would loose $50,000 a week if the ban is not lifted.
