In a message to producers on the Beef Board's website, cattle producers are being asked to sound off as an advocate of the Beef industry. "Your checkoff shares the scientific results of research about beef products and safety, but that's not enough against the onslaught of Internet and other electronic platforms that allow anti-meat brigades to spread information far and wide in the blink of an eye.

At the National Association of Farm Broadcasters convention in Kansas City, we talked with Lucinda Williams, Chairman of the Cattlemen's Beef Board about the Food Fight concept and the facts that need to be delivered to consumers about beef.

Stallman told us at the National Association of Farm Broadcasters in Kansas City that Farm Bureau had been to one meeting early on in the healthcare debate where they raised several issues that needed to be addressed to help improve health care in rural areas, but says that apparently those concerns are not addressed in the more than 2,000 page bill that barely passed the House this past weekend.

We talked more than healthcare- and you can hear our full conversation with Bob Stallman by clicking on the link below and jumping to our Ag Perspectives Podcast webstory on our website, www.OklahomaFarmReport.Com.

Speaking at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Ministerial Meeting, Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi said China hopes to see balanced and positive results on climate change mitigation, adaptation, financing and technology support, four aspects of coordinated efforts outlined by the 2007 U.N. Climate Change Conference held in Bali, Indonesia.

China has repeatedly said developed countries should take the lead in cutting gas emissions and honor their commitments to support developing countries with funds and technology transfers.
China and India have been pointed to by many groups that are skeptical about any Climate Change deal, saying these countries are major emitters of carbon- but that they continue to want to be treated as third world countries. How much of a committment these countries actually make and follow through on will have a major impact on how far the United States will likely go in making promises about Climate Change carbon reduction targets in 2010 and beyond.

Once the Wheat Commission talks about these possible changes, which will require the law that authorizes the checkoff to be amended, members of the Commission may be a part of the Monday afternoon weekly Ag meeting held at the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture- hoping to get some positive feedback from those ag groups that are in attendance.

"These funds will enhance key work being done by our cooperating scientists and engineers to develop advances in practices and technologies necessary to ensure efficient and sustainable production of cellulosic ethanol feedstocks," he said. Huhnke believes the visibility of the Oklahoma Bioenergy Center and the established partnerships between OSU, the University of Oklahoma and the Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation played a key role in securing the federal funding.
