ZimmCast 706 - From Cattle to CIRB

Published: Feb. 21, 2023, 2:44 p.m.

Hello and welcome to the ZimmCast. I\u2019m Chuck Zimmerman.

This week\u2019s program will start with cattle and end with CIRB. By that I mean a couple of my interviews from the Cattle Industry Convention & NCBA Trade Show and then from the Crop Insurance and Reinsurance Bureau Annual Meeting.

First up is Colin Woodall, CEO, NCBA, who provides an overview of the organization and how the 2023 convention and trade show has performed. Following Colin is Kent Bacus, Executive Director, Government Affairs, for NCBA who talks about export markets.

Moving on to the CIRB Annual Meeting you will hear from Jim Wiesemeyer, Farm Journal policy analyst, who provided his annual political update. And then Michael Torrey, Executive Director, CIRB, provides a wrap-up on this year\u2019s event.

That\u2019s the ZimmCast for this week. I hope you enjoy it and thank you for listening.
