NCBA Backs Expansion of CattleTrace System by Lisa M. Keefe, meatingplace.com

The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) has adopted a policy in support of U.S. CattleTrace as an avenue for achieving better disease traceability in the U.S. cattle industry, the association said in a news release.

The policy resolution calls for NCBA to support the expansion of U.S. CattleTrace and directs the organization to encourage and help facilitate state affiliate support and educational efforts.

U.S. CattleTrace is a partnership of multiple state cattlemen’s organizations from major beef producing regions, founded to develop a national infrastructure for disease traceability and to encourage private industry participation. The partnership endorses the use of one technology for a United States cattle industry disease traceability system to maximize the value of technology investment, and supports a transition to ultra-high frequency technology by the end of 2023.

Animal disease traceability has been part of NCBA’s Beef Industry Long Range Plans since 2016.

Traceability is increasingly important in the cattle and beef industries, not only to prevent the spread of disease among herds, but also because export markets increasingly demand that imported beef goods be traceable back to the farm. Getting agreement on the right technology for that type of system in the U.S. has proven difficult among the various links of the beef supply chain.

In August 2018, CattleTrace Inc. was formally established as a private, not-for-profit corporation to securely maintain and manage the data collected as part of the disease traceability pilot project. For more information, visit https://www.uscattletrace.org/ . ▫

Statement from U.S. Census Bureau Director: Delivering a Complete & Accurate 2020 Census Count

The U.S. Census Bureau continues to evaluate its operational plans to collect and process 2020 Census data. On August 3, 2020, we announced updates to our plan that will include enumerator awards and the hiring of more employees to accelerate the completion of data collection and apportionment counts by our statutory deadline of December 31, 2020, as required by law and directed by the Secretary of Commerce. The Census Bureau’s new plan reflects our continued commitment to conduct a com

p l e te co u nt , p r ov i d e a cc u r ate apportionment data, and protect the health and safety of the public and our workforce.

Complete Count: A robust field data collection operation will ensure we receive responses from households that have not yet self-responded to the 2020 Census. Ї We will improve the speed of our count without sacrificing completeness. As part of our revised plan, we will conduct additional training sessions and provide awards to enumerators in recognition of those who maximize hours worked.

We will also keep phone and tablet computer devices for enumeration in use for the maximum time possible. Ї We will end field data collection by

September 30, 2020. Self-response options will also close on that date to permit the commencement of data processing. Under this plan, the

Census Bureau intends to meet a similar level of household responses as collected in prior censuses, including outreach to hard-to-count communities.

Accurate Data and Efficient Process

ing: Once we have the data from self-response and field data collection in our secure systems, we plan to review it for completeness and accuracy, streamline its processing, and prioritize apportionment counts to meet the statutory deadline. In addition, we plan to increase our staff to ensure operations are running at full capacity.

Flexible Design: Our operation remains adaptable and additional resources will help speed our work. The Census Bureau will continue to analyze data and key metrics from its field work to ensure that our operations are agile and on target for meeting our statutory delivery dates. Of course, we recognize that events can still occur that no one can control, such as additional complications from severe weather or other natural disasters.

Health and Safety: We will continue to prioritize the health and safety of our workforce and the public. Our staff will continue to follow Federal, state, and local guidance, including providing appropriate safety trainings and personal protective equipment to field staff.

The Census Bureau continues its work on meeting the requirements of Executive Order 13880 issued July 11, 2019 and the Presidential Memorandum issued July 21, 2020. A team of experts are examining methodologies and options to be employed for this purpose. The collection and use of pertinent administrative data continues.

We are committed to a complete and accurate 2020 Census. To date, 93 million households, nearly 63 percent of all households in the Nation, have responded to the 2020 Census. Building on our successful and innovative internet response option, the dedicated women and men of the Census Bureau, including our temporary workforce deploying in communities across the country in upcoming weeks, will work diligently to achieve an accurate count.

If you know someone who has not yet responded, please encourage them to do so today online at 2020census.gov, over the phone, or by mail. ▫
