We are pleased to hear @SenateAg has dedicated time to discuss the Cattle Price Discovery and Transparency Act.
This bill provides more transparency and competition in the fed cattle market beyond AMAs.
(1/3) Yesterday, Sen. @ChuckGrassley cosponsored an updated Cattle Price Discovery and Transparency Act.
(2/3) This bill signals commitment from congressional leaders to cross the finish line with a solution that requires packers to increase competitive participation in the fed cattle market beyond alternative marketing arrangements.

We want to hear from you!
Help us determine statewide producers' opportunities to minimize operational and supply chain disruptions, current level of FAD preparedness, expectations of roles and responsibilities during an outbreak and ways the Department can address those needs.
Sec. @MikeNaigIA joined us at Leadership Summit last week. During his address, he drove home the importance of foreign animal disease preparedness.

Don Schiefelbein, NCBA President-Elect: If not for Iowa, where would the discussion be on negotiated trade?
Iowa’s aggressiveness advanced the discussion. The introduction of 50/14 was a catalyst for change. – at Altoona, IA
Our partnership with @BeefUSA is valued. Together, we represent the cattle industry on several important issues—WOTUS, tax reform, etc.
Schiefelbein: If we are going to win, we have to stick together. Nobody can beat us at what we do best except ourselves.
We’re starting the day with some remote learning. Dr. Frank Mitloehner, also known as the @GHGGuru, presents "Rethinking Methane: Livestock’s Path to Climate Neutrality.”
Mitloehner: Can we eat our way out of climate change? No way.
Meatless Monday isn’t an effective tool to reduce greenhouse gases. – at Altoona, IA
