South Dakota Farm Bureau is hosting an eight-part webinar series focusing on the cattle and beef industries and the food supply chain.
Executive Director Krystil Smit says the webinars are a partnership between SDFB and the American Farm Bureau Federation and they’re excited to bring an opportunity for this state’s livestock producers to engage in conversations that may influence national agriculture policy. She says the goal is to provide increased education and awareness so participants will feel confident getting involved in policy conversations with lawmakers at all levels of government.
Through this series, titled Pasture to Plate, participants will have conversations with experts about hot topics such as price discovery, mandatory price reporting, country-of-origin labeling and more.
Some of the speakers scheduled to participate include Mike Pearson with Zaner Group, Dr. Jayson Lusk from Purdue University and Dr. Glynn Tonsor from Kansas State University.
The series begins July 23rd at 7:30pm CT with Dr. Jayson Lusk from Purdue University on the beef and cattle supply chains, disruptions experienced since the Tyson packing plant fire and COVID-19, market reactions to those disruptions and ways to make the US food system more resilient.
