When the voice of
Colorado cattlemen needs to be heard on public policy
issues in front of congress, the state legislature or government
agencies, CCA can be counted on to take up the gauntlet.
CCA leaders regularly
testify before the Legislature to ensure the interests of agriculture
are not ignored. CCA's full-time lobbyist, aided by the
David
G. & Lucille S. Rice Legislative Intern,
works with legislators to ensure that the beef industry is represented
at Colorado's capitol.
During the
legislative session, CCA members can check
the
Legislative Review here and in the weekly agricultural publication, Ag
Journal, for an update on current legislation, the bill's progress,
CCA's position on the bill and how it could affect cattlemen.
