WASHINGTON (RFD-TV) – The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) applauded the House of Representatives today for advancing a continuing resolution to prevent a government shutdown.
“We commend the House for passing the continuing resolution. America’s hardworking farmers and ranchers need predictability and stability from government, and House leadership is leading the charge to do just that,” said Ethan Lane, NCBA Senior Vice President of Government Affairs. “We encourage the Senate to follow suit and ensure that this continuing resolution reaches the President’s desk as soon as possible.”
