NCBA Pres-Elect Craig Uden Excited for a New Administration and What that Means for the Industry

Thu, 12 Jan 2017 12:30:21 CST

More than just Farm Bureau members attended the recent American Farm Bureau Federation Convention in Phoenix this past week. Also, making an appearance was National Cattlemen's Beef Association President-elect Craig Uden, who sat down with Radio Oklahoma Network's Farm Director Ron Hays. He tells Hays that the cattle industry is excited about the changes coming in Washington as the Trump administration transitions into the White House.


"There is a lot of people out there that have really looked for this day," Uden remarked. "Rural America came out and supported this election and we'll see where we go, but we're encouraged by a lot of things we've heard but there's still a lot of questions that need to be answered."


Uden cautions, though, that until we actually see how things begin to flow as the future unfolds, nothing can be considered a sure thing. Nonetheless, this hasn't stopped NCBA from making early preparations on building cases for several agricultural policy issues they intend to pitch to the new administration. He says topping their list of priorities - trade.


"Trade is our No. 1 issue," Uden insists. "We're going to continue to push for that at NCBA because we have to have trade. There's only 330 million people living in the US. We're going to have to show the value of trade. If we have to consume those products over here - it's going to be a huge disadvantage."


Listen to Hays and NCBA President-elect Craig Uden discuss changes coming to Washington and what that may mean for the cattle industry, on today's Beef Buzz.
