DENVER – The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) last week created the Young Producers’ Council (YPC) to provide an opportunity to get young people involved in the beef industry.
The YPC was authorized through interim policy passed in July by NCBA Policy Division board members at the Cattle Industry Summer Conference. Surveys conducted earlier in the year reportedly showed strong enthusiasm for such a council, and suggested that young people wanted more involvement in the workings of the organization, including a strong voice in policy decisions.
