Trouble in the Cattle Markets with Jay Rempe, Nebraska Farm Bureau - Sept. 24, 2020 (Webinar Special)

With Jay Rempe, senior economist, Nebraska Farm Bureau. Over the past year, events have rocked the cattle industry and drove to the surface long-standing questions concerning the cattle markets and market structure. These concerns resulted in numerous policy proposals being offered in Washington D.C. In response, the Nebraska Farm Bureau created a Task Force of cattle producers to study current cattle markets and offer policy suggestions and recommendations. Rempe will discuss the recent market events, responses by producers, and the Task Force work and recommendations, and what it learned along the way about Nebraska’s cattle industry relative to the rest of the country.
