Podcasts about cattlemen's beef board

Successfully growing crops or livestock is a lonely enterprise without some help.  In many industries that help in the form of research, education and promotion is funded by a state or  federal checkoff. While everyone must financially support this work, too few people step up to volunteer their time and judgement to plan and oversee the work done for the benefit of all.  One of those who has  stepped up is  Jimmy Taylor a cattle rancher from Oklahoma and a member of the Beef Promotion Operating Committee where he has been the Chairman of the Cattlemen's Beef Board.  Farmers and ranchers should take their turn at stepping up to give back to the industry that has done so much for them. It's time to lead on Ranch to Table Talk. www.beefboard.org

The Cattlemen's Beef Board aims to advance research, education, and promotional activities within the beef sector. Since its start in 1985, their beef checkoff has been a dollar per head. However with inflation, they're not getting that full dollar value. Greg Hanes, CEO of the Cattlemen's Beef Board (CBB) says with inflation and rising costs impacting their purchasing power, they're only getting about 35 vets for every dollar The reduced funding comes at a time when beef production increases amid a decline in cattle numbers, intensifying competition from alternative protein sources like plant-based and cell-cultured meats.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
