Farm Bill Priorities for the Indiana Beef Cattle Association

On this edition of the Indiana Ag Policy Podcast, Indiana cattle producers Kelley Sheiss and Brian Shuter discuss their recent trip to Washington, D.C. to chat with legislators about their Farm Bill priorities. They also share why IBCA supports the House version of the Farm Bill and opposes the Senate version.

Other topics discussed include:

  • Value of the Beef Check-off and fending off attacks to this critical producer controlled investment program
  • Black Vulture Depredation Relief Act - allowing for increased ability to protect herds from this growing predator problem
  • Blocking USDA's move to allow Paraguayan Beef Imports to protect our herds and food supplies
  • Reinstating the July Cattle on Feed Report that USDA has announced the discontinuation of
  • Protecting tax provisions that are set to sunset at the end of 2025 at a minimum of current levels, while asking for additional cuts including the complete repeal of the Death Tax
  • Importance of International Trade and Market Access to remain science-based
