Wrapping up the USCA Fly-in

Just wrapped up a quick fly-in. U.S. Cattlemen leaders Chuck Kiker, Karen Yost, and Tony Belcourt spent yesterday in meetings on Capitol Hill and with the Administration. Some meeting topics included defending U.S. cattle producers’ position in the Canada and Mexico WTO case against the U.S. COOL law, expressing concerns regarding the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) greenhouse gases emissions endangerment finding, and urging Congress to support the Beef Checkoff Modernization Act.

Chuck, Karen, and Tony did an outstanding job! It’s a true privilege and honor to walk the Hill with such good people. USCA is full of outstanding leaders like these individuals. The issues that USCA works on and the quality people who make it happen are the primary reason my job is so fulfilling and fun!
