NCBA President Elect Says We Must Tell Our Animal Care Story to Consumers
Mon, 30 Nov 2009 6:13:26 CST
"We do a pretty doggone good job taking care of our livestock- we need to do a better job of telling that story to consumers," so says the President Elect of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, Steve Fogelsong. Fogelsong is a beef producer from Illinois, and our guest today on the Beef Buzz.
We talk about the challenge to animal agriculture by groups like PETA and HSUS, as well as the regulatory challenges that seem to be multiplying as the Obama Administration puts in place environmental activists in many key appointed slots at the EPA.
Fogelsong says the coarse particulate matter regulations that EPA is advancing ( in other words- rules to control DUST) are especially worrisome to him, as much of agriculture would be out of compliance if EPA gets their way on very strict limits on how much dust may be stirred up by humans. He says that even the Lone Ranger would be out of compliance as he arrived to save the day in a cloud of dust.
Fogelsong, along with NCBA CEO Forrest Roberts, NCBA Vice President of Legislative Affairs Colin Woodall and NCBA Chief Economist Gregg Doud will be on FRD-TV on Tuesday evening, December first at 7:30 PM Central time for a "Live" edition of the NCBA TV show Cattlemen to Cattlemen. Among topics they're expected to address include international trade, the political climate in Washington, the impact of mandatory country-of-origin labeling and other government regulations and the overall state of the industry and the beef market. You can call and ask your questions of Fogelsong or one of the NCBA staffers by calling 1-888-824-6688 during the program Tuesday evening.
By the way, we discovered a CBS News piece on feed prices that featured Steve Fogelsong's operation from this past year- click here to take a look at this Illinois cattle producer's operation.
