Herd it Here with Nebraska Cattlemen – Details, episodes & analysis

On the heels of General File debate on a historical tax relief package making its way through the Nebraska Unicameral, the policy team caught up with the four Senators responsible for making LB873 a reality in the hallways of the Capitol.  We take a dive deep into the history behind the tax package, what is all included, and how we as members can help to push it across the finish line. 

This episode's guest is Gracie Schneider, Vice President of Nebraska FFA 2021-2022.

We are joined with Representative Don Bacon to learn the difference between the recently passed infrastructure bill and the budget reconciliation package.

Pete McClymont is joined with Colonel Bolduc, Superintendent of the Nebraska State Patrol. 

Ashley Kohls and Danielle Beck, National Cattlemen's Beef Association, talk about the political shenanigans that took place right around the fiscal year end for the federal government. Danielle gives behind the scenes about what NCBA has been working on.

This week we listen to the webinar with Farm Rescue: Helping Farm Families in Crisis. 

The changing demographic of rural America is evident all around us. There are fewer family farms today than there were in previous years and the number of children per family also has decreased. These trends are making it increasingly difficult for neighbors to help one another during times of crises. As our rural communities change, Farm Rescue’s presence becomes even more important when a crisis strikes.

Scott Morris, FNIC Group Senior Vice President, joins us to discuss how NCIG can help members with health insurance whether you're looking for individual insurance or your an employer looking for employee benefits.

A while back there were posts on social media regarding the do’s and dont's of donning a cowboy hat posted by cowgirlsmagazine.com and it started quite a bit of conversation in some circles. I decided to investigate other rules in our cowboy culture and gain some insight from some of the wise elders. Read the entire article in the Nebraska Cattleman Magazine September Issue page 24. 

Senator Fischer stopped in and visited with us about current events happening in D.C., the HAULS act, and the Cattle Market Transparency Act!

Nebraska Cattlemen had much involvement this year at the State Fair. As always the Beef Pit and the Birthing Pavilion took up lot's of our members and volunteers time. We also had the 3-day Nebraska Largest Classroom event and the Nebraska Cattlemen Seedstock Council appreciation lunch for all of the open class beef exhibitors.
