Hello and welcome to the ZimmCast.
In this episode I’m going to share some interviews with last week’s CattleCon 2025 and CIRB Annual Mtg. I was in San Antonio while Cindy was in Bonita Springs, FL. This is definitely the busy time!
So, let’s get started with CattleCon. I talked with Colin Woodall, CEO, NCBA who says they were going to break 8,500 attending. Additionally, he talks about the top issues the organization is working on.
Next I have Kevin Good, VP Industry Relations, CattleFax. Kevin gave a full presentation on the stage during the CattleFax session. Afterward I interviewed him to hear his outlook for cattle and beef and what factors are impacting them.
Now, I turned to CIRB. Cindy interviewed Tara Smith, Deputy Executive Vice President, CIRB. Tara talks about the need for educating new people working in the new administration and Congress about the importance of crop insurance.
Finally, I have Cindy’s interview with Lindsey Rinkenberger, CIRB Chairwoman, COUNTRY Financial. Lindsey started CIRB participating the Emerging Leaders program. She talks about how CIRB works with the crop insurance coalition in Washington, DC.
You can find the virtual newsrooms for both these events here: CattleCon 2025 and CIRB Annual Meeting
So, there you have it. Skipping in to next week, Cindy will be heading to Nashville for the 30th National Ethanol Conference, where it will be our 20th year with the Renewable Fuels Association. As a bonus, she gets to see our middle daughter and youngest grand child!
March has us at Commodity Classic in Denver and two trips to DC for the Agri-Pulse Ag and Food Policy Summit and National Ag Day, and then for the American Coalition for Ethanol DC Fly-in. Hope to see you down the agriblogging and farmpodcasting highway!
