Cattle producers look forward to working with a Bush Administration and the new Congress to solve issues important to the future of family farms and ranches across the country, according to the NCBA. "President-Elect Bush and Vice President-Elect Cheney share many views with American beef producers such as elimination of the death tax, local control of environmental policies and making sure that trade laws are fair, protect U.S. producers and continue to open new overseas markets for U.S. beef," says NCBA President George Hall. "However, the narrow majorities in the House and 50-50 split in the Senate, combined with an entirely new administration, makes it imperative that cattle producers mobilize like never before to keep our industry moving forward," Hall says. "We need every able body. We need to be united. We need to speak with one voice. We need to ensure the agenda set by lawmakers includes our priorities. "Individual cattle producers need to join local, state and national cattle organizations and work together for the future of our industry. And NCBA is the best organization to represent cattle producers' interests in this new political environment." In addition to its strong membership base, NCBA will continue to build coalitions with other like-minded organizations and work with both sides of the aisle to move common sense legislative and regulatory issues to completion. "NCBA is proud of the strong, bipartisan relationship we have developed in the House and Senate," says Hall. "We look forward to continuing those relationships in the next Congress to make gains in issues important to family farms and ranches. |
