WASHINGTON, D.C. (RFD News) — Cattle producers from across the country recently traveled to Washington for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association’s Legislative Conference as ranchers continue navigating a wide range of industry issues.
Producers say concerns surrounding regulations, market conditions and natural disasters are continuing to impact cattle operations across the country.
The three-day conference included policy briefings from NCBA’s Washington staff before producers headed to Capitol Hill to meet directly with lawmakers.
Attendees say those conversations help lawmakers better understand how decisions made in Washington impact cattle producers and rural communities back home.
