The conversation spans major ongoing concerns in the beef industry, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Beef market trends in 2025 and how high demand, limited herd supply, and rising quality have kept prices strong.<\/li>\n<li>The delays in the Farm Bill and its implications for ranchers and producers, especially the crucial funding for Foot and Mouth Disease vaccine banks.<\/li>\n<li>How water scarcity, drought conditions, and aquifer depletion are shaping the cattle landscape\u2014and what producers are doing to adapt.<\/li>\n<li>The rise of niche beef markets like grass-fed, locally sourced, and hormone-free, and how they&#8217;re driving demand and providing new revenue for producers.<\/li>\n<li>A deep dive into the New World Screw Worm crisis: what it is, why it\u2019s dangerous, how it re-emerged, and what the cattle industry must do now to stop it.<\/li>\n<li>The role of NCBA in advocacy, public awareness, technology integration, and emergency response in the face of this new biological threat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Colin also shares how NCBA is leading national response efforts, from lobbying for sterile fly production to helping producers identify, treat, and report infestations.
