NCBA policy changes

From a July, 2000 press release from NCBA. Note the first three.

International trade - Expanding trade will become increasingly important to cattle producers’ bottom lines.

Competition - NCBA supports the role of government in ensuring a competitive market through strong oversight, including enforcement when illegal activities such as collusion, antitrust and price fixing occur.

Country-of-origin labeling - Cattle producers support legislative and regulatory action that would rescind the use of USDA quality grade on imported beef carcasses and cattle imported for immediate slaughter. Producers also support mandatory country of origin labeling for imported beef.

Dealer Trust - Producers supports the creation of a dealer trust to protect the financial stability of cattle producers when the buyers who purchase livestock file bankruptcy.

Property rights - Producers supports legislation that requires federal agencies to prepare taking assessments before taking private property.

Taxes - Producers supports repeal of the death tax.

Environment - Cattle producers support the role the Agriculture Committee has taken regarding oversight of both the USDA and EPA concerning the agencies’ rulemaking on Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs).

MRJ, do you see the change? Are you smart enough to see the implications or are you too enamored on your glamorous reputation from brown nosers and the way the NCBA used to be?

So easily bought, I would say.

I'm going to refrain from dubious parallels.
