IOWA CATTLEMEN’S ASSOCIATION
IOWA CATTLEMEN:
SPEAK OUT ON FAKE MEAT IN WASHINGTON, DC
Iowa Cattlemen’s Association board member, Bob Noble, and ICA’s Government and Regulatory Affairs Manager, JanLee Rowlett recently gave comments during a two-day public meeting on lab-grown fake meat. The first day of the joint USDA/FDA meeting in Washington, DC focused on regulations related to alternative proteins, while the second day was aimed at discussing labeling of such products. “We want to ensure that reasonable, science-based standards are the basis for the regulatory system of all meat food products, regardless of how they are produced,” said Noble in his comments. “The Iowa Cattlemen’s Association stands behind the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association’s call for USDA oversight of cell-cultured alternative protein products.” Noble, a cattle producer from Mitchell County, has a master’s degree in meat science from Oklahoma State University, and experience in the processing sector. The regulation of “fake meat” has emerged as a priority for the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association over the past few months, as technological advances have decreased the cost to produce labgrown products, and major meat processing companies such as Tyson and Cargill have invested in the development of these products. The Iowa Cattlemen’s Association
16
helped bring this issue to the forefront by introducing policy at NCBA related to alternative proteins. The association’s main goals are are two-fold: 1) protect consumers from misleading and confusing labels 2) maintain consumer confidence and protect the beef industry from disparaging claims by alternative protein companies such as “clean meat” which imply that beef raised by Iowa farm families is unsafe or dirty ICA supports the oversight of these products by the USDA rather than FDA due to FDA’s failure to enforce labeling rules for plant-based products claiming to be milk. Noble serves as the District 5 director for the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association and is a voting delegate for ICA at NCBA conventions. “Cattle producers in Iowa and across the country take their role in producing safe and nutritious beef for consumers very seriously. From the pasture, to the processor, to the plate, our industry has made investments and advancements at every stage of production to ensure the highest level of integrity of the beef we produce,” he said during his comments. On the second day, Rowlett provided her comments, saying, “Fair and accurate labeling of meat food products, no matter how they are produced, means the same labeling standards across the board. ‘Beef’ December 2018
Livestock Plus Inc.
December 2018
and other terms consumers associate with meat products made from livestock raised by farmers and ranchers should be used to describe only those products, not those produced through cell-cultured technology.” “These objectives can be achieved only under the primary jurisdiction of USDA’s FSIS, which will ensure a sound scientific basis of labeling and approval of these labels before products are offered on the market. We believe the pre-approval of these labels is absolutely critical to preserving the integrity of all meat offered for sale to American families,” she concluded. Other speakers during the two-day meeting included livestock and meat industry representatives as well as animal rights activists and companies who produce alternative proteins. “ICA is really proud to have a leader like Bob sharing the perspective of Iowa’s cattle producers at this national meeting,” said Rowlett. “There are still a lot of unanswered questions about alternative protein products, but we will continue to make sure that ICA members are represented in discussions surrounding the regulation and labeling of these products.” ICA’s other policy priorities, including international trade, the Electronic Logging Device mandate, and environmental regulations can be found at iacattlemen.org.

IOWA CATTLEMEN’S ASSOCIATION
Marketing Cattle and Influencing Policy There is a lot of work that goes into getting that calf crop to the sale barn, or the feedlot to the packer. Undoubtedly, the payoff comes when those cattle are sold, but it is the months or even years of work prior to that point that makes the payoff possible. Your association’s work is no MATT DEPPE different. When ICA ICA CEO is compelled by its members to work on a industry issue, there are many, relatively small, but equally important, actions taken on a daily basis to influence that topic in positive way. We’ve seen this recently with some of the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association priorities, defined by our members through their input. International trade, for example, is a topic that requires continuous attention, although the payoffs seem few and far between at times. Regulatory reform, like a permanent solution to the Electronic Logging Device mandate, and the repeal of WOTUS, can go on for years. But your association staff and leaders continue to work behind the scenes on these issues. Here’s a bit more concrete look at what that means. On any given day, you will find ICA staff working on policy priorities in these ways: 1. Communicating with ag staffers from government offices to find out where the elected officials stand on the topic and share the cattlemen’s point of view. 2. Attending meetings with other Iowa-based and national ag groups to come to a consensus and/or strategize.
18
Livestock Plus Inc.
3. Communicating the intricacies of the topic to ICA board of directors, other staff members and members. 4. Researching current laws and regulations on a topic to determine producers’ options or areas of needed improvement. 5. Sharing ICA’s views through traditional and social media. 6. Communicating with regulatory agencies throughout the rulemaking process to protect cattle producers’ interests. (comments, public meetings, individual meetings or conversations) 7. Developing information (fact sheets, etc.) to help producers understand how a law or rule impacts them and what they can and cannot do. 8. Answering questions from individual producers who need more information about how a rule or law impacts their operation and what their options are. 9. Tracking/monitoring the latest developments as new laws are written or rule changes are made. 10. Working with producers to understand what their concerns are and what changes could help their operation. These things don’t happen for every topic every day, but JanLee Rowlett, our government relations manager, spends the bulk of her time making a difference for Iowa’s independent cattle producers in these ways, aided of course by other staff members and ICA’s leaders. ICA also employs a contract lobbyist, who assists with the influence portion of the work, and an attorney on retainer, who is available to answer producers’ legal questions, especially surrounding environmental regulations.
December 2018
No matter your sector of the industry, you understand that money is not made overnight, and neither can policy typically be changed in a tight timeframe. Instead, it takes consistent work, feeding cattle or checking water, and a belief that it will payoff in the end. Your association utilizes the same strategy - work towards important goals every day, get back up when you fall down, and keep going until the job is done.

Iowa Cattle Industry Leadership Summit: Get in the know, give it a go! Prairie Meadows, Dec. 6 & 7 There are so many reasons to attend this year’s Leadership Summit. No matter what sector of the industry you’re a part of, or your level of engagement in the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association, there is something at the Leadership Summit for you! Socializing: It is going to be FUNNNNNN! Anything that involves talking about cows with other cattlemen, socializing, cussing, discussing ag policy and attending a trade show sounds like a good time to me. Did we mention the venue is at a casino? So bring your friends, meet up with old friends, or make new ones! Policy: Just like on the farm, we must balance business with pleasure. Members will be reviewing interim policy and ratifying policy for the year. This includes hot button policies like traceability, fake meat, WOTUS, etc. Whether you agree or disagree with our current policy, we want to hear from you. And if there is a topic you think we should be prioritizing, we want to hear about that, too. ALL members are welcome at the policy committee meetings, even if you’ve never taken part before. Traceability Panel:There will be a whole panel dedicated to talking about traceability. Grab the popcorn - this should be a good show! In all seriousness, this is an important industry topic and a good discussion will help everyone understand all sides of the issue. When the panel’s over, we’ll ask the important question: where does Iowa stand on this? Keynote: Bruce Vincent, Third Generation Logger. What does a logger know about raising cattle? Bruce knows the vast majority of America doesn’t know rural agriculture just like they don’t understand the logging business. Bruce is prepared to enlighten us with what we should
do about that. Trade Show: Make plans to visit with your industry reps that represent more than 50 businesses that lead the industry on providing producers with products or services. Trade show participants include animal health companies, educational organizations, cow/calf equipment dealers, building suppliers, and many, many more. You will be able to find products and answers for every problem on your cattle operation at the trade show, whether you’re a seedstock, cow/calf or feedlot producer. Foundation Dinner & Auction: Mary Greiman has a big night planned for everyone including dinner and an auction. If you believe in developing youth programs and continual development of Youth Beef Teams, this is the opportunity to grow those initiatives.

COMMENTARY
The Road Behind and Ahead for Fat and Feeder Cattle by Michael Seek, Fox Group at the Board of Trade
Ever heard the old saying ‘don’t sell me short!’? Well, that is what the Fat Cattle and Feeder Cattle markets have been saying loud and clear this last month of November that saw Crude oil markets crash out of the sky for one of the most dramatic moves in history. And yet on the 13th of November and the day Crude dropped a stunning 5 dollars per barrel the Feeder Cattle rallied 4 dollars off the lows of that day. Weak sale barn activity? Maybe, but apparently the futures in Chicago are doing their job well and showing that the future is brighter than feedlot managers realize. The same thing happened on the June Fat Cattle, albeit not as big of a rally off the bottom. You’ll see down below in several charts that beef is indeed what’s for dinner, just like Sam Elliot always says with his powerful voice over commercials. Hedging your Cattle in a global economy now demands that you integrate the US Dollar, the Chinese Yuan, Economic manufacturing date from the United State and China and Europe, sale barn activity and always changing basis’ due to all of the foregoing. If you wake up in the middle of the night and wonder about your Cattle and how you might better hedge one of your ranches’ most valuable assets then call Michelle White at 312-756-0931 and request a 90 day complimentary nightly and weekend Cattle Advisory that is delivered by email. Please have your email address ready when you call her. We provide Cattle hedging tutorials here at the Board of Trade and you can come in person on a Friday or Saturday morning or afternoon and educate yourself on the risk and rational of Cattle hedging in a global economy that packers probably understand better than most cattlemen. Look for a trade deal any day now near the G20 meeting that has President Trump and President Xi of China shaking hands and announcing a deal that lights up livestock markets and many other commodity markets. Take a look at the charts below and see why a picture is worth a thousand word. And remember, hedging livestock and feed costs with CBOT or CME instruments still has risk of loss and is not suitable for all livestock producers and investors who desire to hedge their livestock on the dirt. n
