(NAFB.com) – The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association set the organization’s 2025 policy priorities at CattleCon 2025. The focus will be on engaging with the Trump administration and Congress to expand opportunities for producer profitability. “NCBA will advocate for passage of a long-term farm bill and push to extend the critical tax provisions in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that expire at the end of the year,” says new NCBA President and Nebraska cattleman Buck Wehrbein. “Over the past few years, producers have been increasingly squeezed by onerous regulatory burdens, including unscientific Endangered Species Act listings and the rapidly changing enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act.” He also says government overreach has prevented meaningful conservation efforts, leaving America’s natural resources in worse conditions and cattle producers in a position of significant uncertainty with soaring legal and accounting bills. The priorities include retaining the wins in the 2004 House Ag Committee’s farm bill.
