MEMBER MAIL BALLOT ADDITION
When the 2020 Member Mail Ballot was inserted into the National Cattlemen last month, a resolution was inadvertently omitted. Our sincerest apologies to the cattle producers of Kentucky Cattlemen’s Association who brought forth this resolution.

In keeping with the association’s process for policy development, members may vote to overturn the action by the NCBA Policy Division Board by voting “no” on the ballot on this page and returning it to the address of the third party tabulation firm (Plante Moran) noted on the ballot. If you are satisfied with this resolution, there is no need to take action.
WHEREAS, the cattle industry has seen increased volatility in the market that has put tremendous financial pressure on cow calf producers, and
WHEREAS, this volatility has highlighted the need for viable options for true risk management within the cow calf sector, and
WHEREAS, NCBA commissioned an “Economic Damages to the U.S. Beef Cattle Industry Due to COVID-19” study by Oklahoma State University, and
WHEREAS, the Oklahoma State University report concluded cow-calf operators have far fewer risk management tools at their disposal compared to other beef cattle sectors, and
WHEREAS, agricultural economists have since provided further evaluation on potential tools for risk management within the cow calf sector,
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, NCBA supports the development of risk management tools or the revision of existing tools for cow calf producers to minimize risk for members in this segment of the industry.
