The now, just past, Chairman of the Cattlemen’s Beef Board is Dan Dierschke, Texas, pictured being interviewed in the media room at the Cattle Industry Convention. One of the officer duties is to be available to the media during the summer meeting and annual convention. Hopefully, it’s a mostly enjoyable task!
I was one of Dan’s interviewers and got him to take a look back at the last year and a look ahead. Dan is especially interested in exports of beef since that’s an area he’s worked in for a long time and recently export sales have seen significant increases which brings a good return to cattle producers. He is very gratified to see the strong producer support of the Beef Checkoff as shown by the most recent producer attitude survey.
