These are a couple of the policy stances NCBA has on their Capitol Concerns-- but I'm not sure what they're trying to say- especially the M-COOL one....Are they now supporting Country of Origin Labeling- or are they just going to concede it will become law and going to try to screw it up more for general principles :???:
This was the one on the USDA's proposed Rule 2...Now while in some news articles I saw it downplayed- the NCBA member I talked to that had been to the convention said there was a highly divided group as to whether to support the rule 2- which resulted in this....
Country-of-origin labeling: NCBA members believe implementation of the current federal country-of-origin labeling statute has the potential to place a great burden on domestic producers and disrupt the beef market, so NCBA policy directs NCBA to work with Congress and USDA to ensure that a country-of-origin labeling program offers maximum benefit and minimal market disruption to the U.S. beef industry.

NCBA is reviewing the proposed rule along with a detailed economic and scientific analysis developed for NCBA members as we work to shape our comments. At last week’s annual meeting in Nashville, NCBA members did not reject the USDA proposal, but adopted a policy voicing concerns about its possible impact. The interim policy adopted February 3rd demands permanent identification of all live cattle imported from Canada through harvest, and calls for USDA to develop an orderly market transition plan before expanding the scope of cattle and beef imports from Canada.
