Our Beef Board Chair, Weldon Wynn, spoke with Chuck during the committee meetings during the recent Cattle Industry Summer Conference. Weldon was enthusiastic about the new committee structure and gave a positive outlook into the 2014 budget approval.

Some committee rooms had standing room only and that can only mean that members are more excited than ever to not only simply produce beef but have a say in the structure of the industry. Dollars might be down, but Weldon said, “We are doing more with less.” And continues to say we are moving forward.

“At this particular conference what we are trying to accomplish is we come together and talk to our people all over the countryside. CBB does not represent one state. We represent all of them, about 730,000 producers out there. We come here and talk about the issues facing us, give them a chance to speak their minds and we try our hardest to work through some of these things with our committee structure we have in place.”
