There is no shortage of issues for the nation’s cattle producers to discuss this week at the 2023 Cattle Industry Convention.
Ethan Lane, vice president of government affairs, with the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association says from traceability to grazing, producers will take a deep dive into the issues. “We have some policy proposals to talk about,” he says. “Different ways to approach CRP and finding ways that would better recognize grazing as a tool in those environments. Looking at the funding for the FMD vaccine bank and making sure that stays solvent.”
Lane says the group will also spend time focusing on the 2023 Farm Bill, and how it can get finished in the current hyper-partisan political environment in Washington, D.C.
