1
00:00:01,810 --> 00:00:31,790
All right, there we go. Well, I'd like to welcome everybody to our beef council meeting. Go ahead and call the meeting to order. And first, is there anything else we need to do to call the meeting to order? No, welcome everybody and call it to order. Do that. Everybody's got the minutes. So first item on the agenda is approval of the minutes from our last meeting that was held January 12th of this year.

2
00:00:31,790 --> 00:00:35,930
2026 that you have those in front of you. Is there any

3
00:00:37,150 --> 00:00:41,030
I can't attain a motion to approve the minutes any

4
00:00:45,570 --> 00:00:46,890
discussion about any game

5
00:00:50,710 --> 00:00:53,280
Anybody make motion to approve them?

6
00:00:55,070 --> 00:01:00,850
Is there a second? I'll second that all right any other discussion on them

7
00:01:01,570 --> 00:01:03,110
approve them as is

8
00:01:03,870 --> 00:01:05,510
All in favor say aye

9
00:01:05,510 --> 00:01:12,150
All right, so the next is updates from industry representatives.

10
00:01:13,330 --> 00:01:15,170
This is going to go around the table.

11
00:01:15,230 --> 00:01:21,270
Maybe Tracy start with you and we'll come back and always the most important win with him.

12
00:01:22,710 --> 00:01:24,750
Well, I can't say it's right for me.

13
00:01:24,930 --> 00:01:25,830
You know, they're not much good.

14
00:01:30,220 --> 00:01:35,420
I am happy that they've got the made in America deal on it.

15
00:01:35,460 --> 00:01:37,280
But I can say I don't think it's the magic.

16
00:01:43,430 --> 00:01:48,990
So with that, just to clarify, I think you probably all understand where that is.

17
00:01:50,650 --> 00:02:04,510
It's still totally voluntary, so it is a marketing tool, but that's where it does create a definition

18
00:02:04,510 --> 00:02:10,630
a product of Utah that we've kind of, a product of Utah, product of USA, that we have kind

19
00:02:10,630 --> 00:02:17,410
of lacked as to what that real definition. So it does have to be born-raised processed

20
00:02:17,410 --> 00:02:19,210
in the USA to get that label.

21
00:02:20,130 --> 00:02:25,610
If there's any, my understanding if there's any part of that process that happens outside

22
00:02:25,610 --> 00:02:31,910
U.S., it's both just quite like that, it's quite like that, so just talking, so say you're

23
00:02:31,910 --> 00:02:33,690
talking with a big pack.

24
00:02:36,430 --> 00:02:39,650
Technically, they can keep track of every end and come in as you

25
00:02:39,650 --> 00:02:46,270
know, but as far as the breeder would not be able to be identified as part of the U.S.A.,

26
00:02:46,270 --> 00:02:52,670
these really depend on each other. Unless they have a separate process. Now, when you go

27
00:02:52,670 --> 00:02:59,510
back to the end-cooled days, they would shut down process and do that. So they could

28
00:02:59,510 --> 00:03:01,930
do that if they choose to.

29
00:03:07,550 --> 00:03:14,730
My question on the whole thing is, how important is it really, what percentage of the beef that

30
00:03:14,730 --> 00:03:20,090
we're talking about is actually labeled? I mean, it might be labeled on bulk or in, you know,

31
00:03:20,090 --> 00:03:23,630
if it comes to a stake house or something like that,

32
00:03:23,830 --> 00:03:28,110
but maybe they put it on there in their menu or something.

33
00:03:28,390 --> 00:03:31,010
But if you order McDonald's, how are you gonna know?

34
00:03:32,070 --> 00:03:35,350
And you need to, again, rolling back to the M-cool,

35
00:03:37,210 --> 00:03:40,950
the restaurant industry and the retail industry

36
00:03:40,950 --> 00:03:42,330
were exempted from that.

37
00:03:42,910 --> 00:03:46,470
So they weren't even required under M-cool to do that.

38
00:03:46,470 --> 00:03:52,910
really it was only product that went into retail outlets and anything that went

39
00:03:52,910 --> 00:03:58,950
into a blended product was exempted from them in cool and anything that

40
00:03:58,950 --> 00:04:05,510
actually went to restaurants or those types they didn't have to label that so

41
00:04:05,510 --> 00:04:10,050
if you come into a place now this gives the marketing tool to a place like this

42
00:04:10,050 --> 00:04:15,850
that they can buy that product and say it is but they're not required in any way

43
00:04:15,850 --> 00:04:23,390
to do that and so it makes it a more of a marketing tool than a regulatory requirement

44
00:04:23,390 --> 00:04:27,950
and that's where the big you know part of the big problem was with the uncool is a lot

45
00:04:27,950 --> 00:04:33,590
of the product that people think are going to get labeled the Argentinian and Brazilian

46
00:04:33,590 --> 00:04:40,690
and all that beef that they want that label on it was exempted because it went into food service

47
00:04:41,190 --> 00:04:47,590
So we were, you know, spending a lot of money labeling products with the target of saying,

48
00:04:47,590 --> 00:04:52,330
okay, we want to identify Argentinian beef that comes in, but it went into a channel that

49
00:04:52,330 --> 00:04:53,510
was exempted from that.

50
00:04:53,930 --> 00:04:59,990
So, you know, that's where there was some loopholes and some challenges that, you know, it was

51
00:04:59,990 --> 00:05:04,210
a solution that didn't solve the problem of what we were really looking for with that

52
00:05:04,210 --> 00:05:05,250
for one thing.

53
00:05:06,990 --> 00:05:08,710
So, I'm thrilled with it.

54
00:05:08,810 --> 00:05:10,870
It does give more marketing options.

55
00:05:10,870 --> 00:05:14,590
Again, it's just like any other at the branded product.

56
00:05:15,110 --> 00:05:18,510
You know, the CABs are the any of those kind of products.

57
00:05:19,550 --> 00:05:24,770
It's going to have to be handled in a certain way to certify

58
00:05:24,770 --> 00:05:30,750
that it is that product, but it does give that opportunity to sell.

59
00:05:30,750 --> 00:05:40,710
and this gives the market an opportunity to dictate if there is a desire for it.

60
00:05:45,710 --> 00:05:46,250
Any other

61
00:05:46,250 --> 00:05:49,490
questions about that? Michelle?

62
00:05:51,530 --> 00:05:55,450
So beef ambassadors, which are largely funded through this,

63
00:05:56,170 --> 00:06:01,610
through the Beef Council, are starting to hit farm field days thick and heavy. And if any of you have

64
00:06:01,610 --> 00:06:08,890
done them. Thank the beef master for going to do it because they're a lot of work and they're

65
00:06:08,890 --> 00:06:13,910
hidden all over the state actually which is exciting so we'll have them spread from southern Utah to

66
00:06:13,910 --> 00:06:20,410
northern Utah here in the next couple weeks. Doing some field days. Tucker Martin on our boards sits on

67
00:06:20,410 --> 00:06:26,110
ANCW's Beef Promotion Board which I'm not positive this is a true statement but I don't think they've

68
00:06:26,110 --> 00:06:27,690
have when operating for a while.

69
00:06:28,610 --> 00:06:31,690
I think they're just starting grassroots again

70
00:06:31,690 --> 00:06:32,390
to get it going.

71
00:06:33,410 --> 00:06:35,630
But they're goal, and it's some things

72
00:06:35,630 --> 00:06:37,650
I think this group should be aware of.

73
00:06:37,830 --> 00:06:40,530
And let me know if you have any concerns or if you applaud it,

74
00:06:40,530 --> 00:06:42,050
and I can take it back to her.

75
00:06:42,210 --> 00:06:48,670
But they are wanting to provide a beef resource guide

76
00:06:48,670 --> 00:06:50,510
some that I told her we already probably have.

77
00:06:50,690 --> 00:06:52,510
We just need to connect with the right people

78
00:06:52,510 --> 00:06:55,890
through beef, what's for dinner, and what you've done,

79
00:06:56,110 --> 00:06:58,530
Jacob, so beef resource guide.

80
00:06:58,750 --> 00:07:01,590
So we're to find local beef and information about beef

81
00:07:01,590 --> 00:07:02,450
in every state.

82
00:07:03,110 --> 00:07:05,490
And again, like Utah's own might have some

83
00:07:05,490 --> 00:07:07,290
of those contacts already there.

84
00:07:08,690 --> 00:07:11,290
They want to have each state provide videos.

85
00:07:11,850 --> 00:07:14,870
And the cattle woman will help do this,

86
00:07:14,970 --> 00:07:18,290
but highlighting kind of what Jacob did at our region meeting,

87
00:07:18,710 --> 00:07:21,050
a cut of beef and how to cook it, season it.

88
00:07:21,050 --> 00:07:27,190
but also where it is now such a big part of the food pyramid that we show that

89
00:07:27,190 --> 00:07:31,790
nutritional information with that video so we're getting out there. This is

90
00:07:31,790 --> 00:07:38,770
really, you know, this zip you're getting with your cut of steak but also

91
00:07:38,770 --> 00:07:44,850
they so they will, they want to document each state's beef council, cattle

92
00:07:44,850 --> 00:07:51,030
women's and cattlemen's groups, local beef guide, a food marketing program and they

93
00:07:51,030 --> 00:07:58,470
With everyone so that they know people you know producers can know who they need to talk to and how to get a part of marketing plan

94
00:07:58,470 --> 00:07:59,970
Maybe small business association

95
00:08:00,830 --> 00:08:05,830
Associated with it. So while you're right without the department of Ag there's have a

96
00:08:06,610 --> 00:08:10,930
Site with those Jacob keeps you still have some of those on there. Don't you?

97
00:08:11,070 --> 00:08:18,370
We so on the beef council website. We try to try to say if anyone has the local beef that they sell and we have a local beef directory

98
00:08:19,150 --> 00:08:19,630
or

99
00:08:19,630 --> 00:08:27,570
adding some here and there. I mean, it's not exhaustive. But again, it's a voluntary thing.

100
00:08:27,790 --> 00:08:33,990
It's like a big contact pass. I don't go and just try and find a mall and ask them if they want to be on it.

101
00:08:35,530 --> 00:08:42,710
I mean, maybe you, as a board think we should, if you do, then I could pursue that. There are some that I'm aware of,

102
00:08:42,790 --> 00:08:47,270
and I just reach out to them and say, hey, we have this little big directory. Do you want to be on it?

103
00:08:48,110 --> 00:08:55,930
Well I think this group can help gather that so it's not on your plate but and I fully anticipate

104
00:08:55,930 --> 00:09:02,650
to have the ambassadors help roll some of this out like videos and put them to use some other

105
00:09:02,650 --> 00:09:09,170
ways too. They're great at what they're doing but they can do more so they can go and get an exhaustive

106
00:09:10,190 --> 00:09:18,890
I'll leave that to you all to decide, but they also, so each group will, you know, do

107
00:09:18,890 --> 00:09:23,310
the video, assign them a cut of beef, and have that video be on that beef.

108
00:09:23,470 --> 00:09:27,730
We already identified and kind of show to the almost before report, right?

109
00:09:28,330 --> 00:09:30,350
This is how that beach has been taken care of.

110
00:09:30,490 --> 00:09:35,990
They've identified a gal in Boxel or County that does that already through her social media

111
00:09:35,990 --> 00:09:36,470
platform.

112
00:09:36,470 --> 00:09:39,530
But she's no one, you know, they're on good grass.

113
00:09:39,850 --> 00:09:41,910
They're being well taken care of and then we're taking them

114
00:09:42,450 --> 00:09:45,250
through the process, you know, that way.

115
00:09:46,350 --> 00:09:48,750
And let me see if there's anything else on here, right?

116
00:09:48,950 --> 00:09:50,550
Do you know who they're using up in box order?

117
00:09:50,810 --> 00:09:53,150
I think it's Jenna McCarty.

118
00:09:54,150 --> 00:09:56,370
If you have other names too, we would love them.

119
00:09:56,790 --> 00:09:57,230
I'm just curious.

120
00:09:57,430 --> 00:09:59,590
I think Jenna, because she's already got that huge.

121
00:10:00,130 --> 00:10:02,450
The idea too is, you know, Nicky Winch,

122
00:10:02,450 --> 00:10:05,810
we identified as what we're trying to hit each kind

123
00:10:05,810 --> 00:10:12,870
of age group of women, you know, you have the younger, the middle mom that just needs

124
00:10:12,870 --> 00:10:18,530
that 30-minute recipe, and then, you know, Mickey's got this whole following on how nutrition

125
00:10:18,530 --> 00:10:24,130
plays a role in your humanopause and menopausal, you know, like how you do all that. So I think

126
00:10:24,130 --> 00:10:27,990
they're, we identified three or four names that way if any of you have any, we would love

127
00:10:27,990 --> 00:10:35,410
them, but trying to really promote being to roll it out, you know, give Jacob some help

128
00:10:35,410 --> 00:10:40,490
in our state doing I think you do a great job and I'm telling you are a huge resource in that area.

129
00:10:41,030 --> 00:10:45,810
If there's things you're doing that we can help do in these videos or roll it out.

130
00:10:46,330 --> 00:10:50,510
I think the goal is to get some of these heavy social media influencers that have those

131
00:10:50,510 --> 00:10:54,090
follow-ups to help disburse the information.

132
00:10:57,550 --> 00:10:59,810
Any ideas, thoughts, concerns?

133
00:11:03,930 --> 00:11:08,410
I think we're just going to be sure that messaging is consistent and good.

134
00:11:17,230 --> 00:11:21,810
Sometimes you get people out there, especially if they're marketing their own product,

135
00:11:22,090 --> 00:11:27,670
my product's better than the other and it makes it sound like other beef is bad.

136
00:11:28,330 --> 00:11:35,450
And I think we want to be sure that those messages don't come through, you know, all beef is good.

137
00:11:36,070 --> 00:11:42,030
Yes, there are better qualities of beef or better, you know, if you want to pay for a premium process or something that way.

138
00:11:42,450 --> 00:11:52,970
But too often we've seen in social media people say you need to buy from me because the meat and the grocery stores trash.

139
00:11:52,970 --> 00:11:57,950
Well, yeah, the meat in the grocery store is not trash, maybe something that you're producing

140
00:11:57,950 --> 00:12:03,170
is a better quality, that's fine, but I want to be sure that as we're doing those that

141
00:12:03,170 --> 00:12:05,350
we don't have those kind of messages.

142
00:12:05,870 --> 00:12:11,090
There's just a way that you can highlight the positives of your own product and not even

143
00:12:11,090 --> 00:12:16,490
have to bring up grocery for, you know, or if you're doing grass-fed and have to bring

144
00:12:16,490 --> 00:12:22,670
up conventionally, just tell those benefits that you see from your product and then it doesn't

145
00:12:22,670 --> 00:12:24,490
to drag in any other part of it.

146
00:12:24,890 --> 00:12:26,110
Don't be a rubberman.

147
00:12:26,470 --> 00:12:27,030
Be a supply.

148
00:12:28,610 --> 00:12:29,070
Just saying.

149
00:12:29,550 --> 00:12:34,990
There are some out there that like to push down to build

150
00:12:34,990 --> 00:12:38,130
there's up and you can easily talk about those benefits

151
00:12:38,130 --> 00:12:41,250
without bringing up any negative things about something else

152
00:12:41,250 --> 00:12:44,750
because it's all part of the same process.

153
00:12:45,150 --> 00:12:47,590
So it's like shooting yourself in the foot, really.

154
00:12:48,170 --> 00:12:51,790
Yeah, I recommended that you top focus on the nutritional.

155
00:12:51,790 --> 00:12:57,730
Let's ride that boat through the Pyramid Wave right now and I like those ideas of let's

156
00:12:57,730 --> 00:13:01,370
just leave that other stuff but we keep control on that.

157
00:13:01,390 --> 00:13:08,550
And even with that, you know, the whole, you know, the whole food pyramid thing is, you

158
00:13:08,550 --> 00:13:13,110
know, eat healthy, eat, eat close to home type, you know, a little bit that way.

159
00:13:13,630 --> 00:13:18,830
And I'm okay with saying if you want to know where your beef came from, you know, purchase

160
00:13:18,830 --> 00:13:24,070
local kind of thing. That's an okay message because some people want to know where it comes from.

161
00:13:24,730 --> 00:13:28,750
There's a lot of people that just pick up food from a grocery store and they're not

162
00:13:28,750 --> 00:13:37,270
carrying as much. And so the messages are okay. So don't say that you want the only healthy way

163
00:13:37,270 --> 00:13:45,550
to eat is eat local because eating local is elevating what's already good. I guess.

164
00:13:45,550 --> 00:13:47,190
You know, type of a message.

165
00:13:47,650 --> 00:13:48,470
Does that make sense?

166
00:13:50,490 --> 00:13:56,090
I just, you know, I just, it frustrates me when I see some of our good producers out there.

167
00:13:57,250 --> 00:14:02,510
You know, you need to buy our beef because we're among free and we're this, and we're that,

168
00:14:02,610 --> 00:14:05,430
and it makes everything else sound like it's not good.

169
00:14:05,830 --> 00:14:05,910
Yeah.

170
00:14:05,910 --> 00:14:14,130
I was listening to R.F.D. TV, a radio, a rural radio, it was an interview, a drive-up.

171
00:14:14,710 --> 00:14:19,770
They had a meat scientist, I can't remember who he was, but I've heard him in the portions

172
00:14:19,770 --> 00:14:20,470
of South Dakota.

173
00:14:21,590 --> 00:14:24,570
And they were talking about the benefits of beef.

174
00:14:25,090 --> 00:14:27,670
And then they had questions, and people were calling in.

175
00:14:28,370 --> 00:14:32,770
And this lady called in, says, I'm so glad to have you on here, the year of meat scientist,

176
00:14:32,770 --> 00:14:34,810
is your specialist in this.

177
00:14:35,070 --> 00:14:37,770
And I just want to know where you buy your beef,

178
00:14:37,910 --> 00:14:40,790
because you could tell me where to buy the right beef.

179
00:14:42,170 --> 00:14:45,770
And I want to buy the beef that's healthy for my family,

180
00:14:45,970 --> 00:14:47,450
and it's going to be, you know, and you'll

181
00:14:47,450 --> 00:14:48,590
be able to tell me.

182
00:14:49,210 --> 00:14:52,190
And he says, I want to know where you get yours.

183
00:14:52,370 --> 00:14:55,410
He said, I buy it at the grocery store, and he

184
00:14:55,410 --> 00:14:58,910
went on and explained that the benefits that there's

185
00:14:58,910 --> 00:14:59,450
The reason.

186
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:29,480
Better than, I mean, it's just, you know, if you want something different that's grasped better, something you could go after that, but it's, but we can't, there isn't better. It's just different. That's something that's on Channel 2. Certain something that it was, how do you, how do you know you're getting good beef? Where are you, where are you supposed to find the good beef? You can find good beef anywhere. You can find good beef from your neighbor. You can find it from the grocery store. You can buy it from Smith's. You can buy it from,

187
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:35,800
Sounds clover Costco. It's all good, safe, wholesome products. It's that some people want

188
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:40,300
to dial in and say, well, there must be only the good type of beef somewhere. Where

189
00:15:40,300 --> 00:15:44,280
do you get it, you know, we get that. I mean, where do you get your beef? I get it from

190
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:49,540
all over the place, you know. So, well, and there's no question that there are differences

191
00:15:49,540 --> 00:15:56,340
in quality. For sure. You know, and some of the retailers are low-priced leaders. And

192
00:15:56,340 --> 00:16:00,900
And so you're going to get some of the lesser quality.

193
00:16:01,780 --> 00:16:05,800
But again, that's not saying that it's unedible.

194
00:16:06,100 --> 00:16:09,960
It's just, there's a difference between low jays.

195
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:10,200
Low jays.

196
00:16:10,860 --> 00:16:10,880
Low jays.

197
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:11,260
Low jays.

198
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:12,760
And by a stake score.

199
00:16:13,020 --> 00:16:13,620
Yeah, yeah.

200
00:16:14,060 --> 00:16:14,160
Yeah.

201
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,640
And it's because that's their market niche.

202
00:16:17,540 --> 00:16:18,160
They're going.

203
00:16:18,460 --> 00:16:23,420
And so, yeah, hey, it's just like vegetables.

204
00:16:23,420 --> 00:16:26,520
you can, you know, call it vegetables are different,

205
00:16:26,660 --> 00:16:28,240
different grocery stores.

206
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:33,140
Yeah, well, I, I for sure will be viewing videos

207
00:16:33,140 --> 00:16:35,280
before they go out and would share with this group

208
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,920
and if you had concerns we could remedy it before it went out

209
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:42,100
and I think we need that kind of, I would love more eyes

210
00:16:42,100 --> 00:16:42,740
on them, you know.

211
00:16:43,060 --> 00:16:43,940
What's up with that?

212
00:16:44,420 --> 00:16:46,780
It's always, you know, like make it really fast.

213
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:48,960
That's, I would agree, you know,

214
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,480
and people, people will pick things up

215
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,620
and especially if they know what's being funded through, you know,

216
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,240
to check offer and association or something they like to throw

217
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:58,280
darts at sometimes.

218
00:16:58,540 --> 00:16:58,640
Yeah.

219
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,680
So we want to be sure that there's not something to do with them.

220
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:02,560
There are really good messages.

221
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,000
We do want our name on it.

222
00:17:04,300 --> 00:17:06,320
We want to have as we want to make counsel on it.

223
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:06,760
Oh, yeah.

224
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,200
That's why I would love your input before they roll out anyway.

225
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,140
I think that's just a good safeguard measure.

226
00:17:12,020 --> 00:17:20,040
And things, a lot of times things that seem not a real problem

227
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:26,600
to us, somebody will take an offense too, so we kind of need to look through some of

228
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:33,280
those. We saw that with the Farm Bureau's message with the methane thing. They were

229
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:39,060
talking about trying to put it in a positive light, but because they talked about methane

230
00:17:39,060 --> 00:17:43,520
and cattle, and all of a sudden there were some people that jumped all over while you're

231
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:50,220
out there bad mouthing, you know, and so we need to just be careful, what we think might

232
00:17:50,220 --> 00:17:54,220
be a good message, we just, we need to look at it with all colors of glasses.

233
00:17:54,500 --> 00:17:54,820
I agree.

234
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:56,680
Sounds like the Angus Association.

235
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:03,080
And then the only question I have I was driving down here this morning was in a rural radio

236
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:10,740
and they had the CEO of our cap on and he, you know, with the big Ag Day in Washington was

237
00:18:10,740 --> 00:18:14,760
saying that they were trying to advocate for reform to the check-off program.

238
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:21,080
I was wondering if you've heard anything like that or what if there is status there they have

239
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:30,820
long been advocating for reform. There's nothing right now there are no pending bills or actions.

240
00:18:30,820 --> 00:18:38,180
I know that every time that they meet with the secretary that becomes an issue but right now

241
00:18:38,180 --> 00:18:44,880
there are there's no legal challenges and there's no pending legislation now

242
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:51,460
with the Farm Bill you know that gives a place that a group could try to

243
00:18:51,460 --> 00:19:03,420
attach something there but did they carry a big stick for his NCBAs bigger you

244
00:19:03,420 --> 00:19:09,980
have to answer the anyway. It's a very vocal. I know. Yes. That's why I was worried like wondering.

245
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:17,660
And it's way easy for people to hear a short paragraph of them and buy into everything and

246
00:19:17,660 --> 00:19:24,080
they're not understanding the whole bit. I'm not sure. I've listened to some of the things and I don't

247
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:31,620
think they understand how they check off the even works. You can't explain it to them. They just

248
00:19:31,620 --> 00:19:37,040
Yeah, I think it's unbelievable what it was accomplished.

249
00:19:41,450 --> 00:19:48,550
Yeah, well thanks to everyone that came up to Secretary Vaden's thing, I hope

250
00:19:48,550 --> 00:19:54,290
friend, Jeff, that was a good meeting for you guys, but I'm gonna cover this for a

251
00:19:54,290 --> 00:19:58,670
second. Tomorrow afternoon, they're gonna announce the US Forest Service is moving

252
00:19:58,670 --> 00:20:07,310
to Utah. So that's exciting for us all. So there'll be at the downtown building.

253
00:20:07,730 --> 00:20:11,710
There'll be an abandoned building. I thought that's where it will be.

254
00:20:11,750 --> 00:20:19,870
Yeah, so yeah, we went toward it. They could fit 200 people there easily to maybe 300.

255
00:20:20,150 --> 00:20:25,470
They're pretty empty. So that's a big thing. So they'll start moving them

256
00:20:26,310 --> 00:20:32,450
during the summer months is what the plan is and if they don't come we'll find

257
00:20:32,450 --> 00:20:41,210
employees here hopefully so but yeah we look forward to that I just said you've

258
00:20:41,210 --> 00:20:46,790
seasoned was a was a roller coaster this year I mean we were told we wouldn't

259
00:20:46,790 --> 00:20:51,050
have any money there's no money then in the middle of the seat session they

260
00:20:51,050 --> 00:20:55,450
found money right so then everyone was scrambling for money and we came out

261
00:20:55,450 --> 00:21:05,230
We got $11 million towards food security and we hope to get up to 50 million in the next five years.

262
00:21:05,610 --> 00:21:12,050
So it'll be a little bit different because it is federal funding versus state funding.

263
00:21:12,570 --> 00:21:16,950
And so we're still trying to learn the tweaks of what that means.

264
00:21:16,950 --> 00:21:24,050
But I hope are you know if there's a process if if any of your processors or anyone that you know

265
00:21:24,770 --> 00:21:32,770
Does meet processing fruits or vegetables if they need new equipment or want to expand their operations meaning

266
00:21:32,770 --> 00:21:38,810
I don't think we can do ground up construction, but if we want to expand a little bit

267
00:21:38,810 --> 00:21:40,570
I think we will qualify

268
00:21:41,170 --> 00:21:46,790
So 11 million where we only got one million before so that tells you a big

269
00:21:46,950 --> 00:21:54,230
difference, right? We would get about 15 million in request each year. So, we're excited

270
00:21:54,230 --> 00:21:58,310
about this. I don't know what the new tweaks will look like when it rolls out. We'll let

271
00:21:58,310 --> 00:21:58,950
everyone know.

272
00:22:01,370 --> 00:22:06,510
It's an application through us. It'll be in May. The whole month of May

273
00:22:06,990 --> 00:22:08,310
is the application area.

274
00:22:10,850 --> 00:22:15,210
I don't know if we'll have to tweak it to versus the new rules.

275
00:22:15,210 --> 00:22:19,590
but who could apply, I mean, is it any processor?

276
00:22:21,010 --> 00:22:25,610
So if they want, like I said, if they need a new piece of equipment that helps them process more,

277
00:22:26,330 --> 00:22:31,370
I mean, we've done a ton of refrigeration, which is good, and that's still a huge need in Utah.

278
00:22:31,530 --> 00:22:32,950
But like, patty machines.

279
00:22:33,630 --> 00:22:35,410
What about high pours?

280
00:22:35,470 --> 00:22:39,030
I mean, just like some of these mobile units.

281
00:22:39,230 --> 00:22:39,390
Yeah.

282
00:22:39,730 --> 00:22:41,050
They would be eligible.

283
00:22:41,050 --> 00:22:43,230
Absolutely. We've done some of those.

284
00:22:46,030 --> 00:22:50,970
We're hoping to maybe earmark some of that for a rendering plant.

285
00:22:51,170 --> 00:22:52,990
We know that's a huge need in the state.

286
00:22:53,270 --> 00:22:57,610
There's no rendering. So maybe earmark some of that funds to entice.

287
00:22:58,290 --> 00:23:01,130
Any, any, what's the status of?

288
00:23:01,250 --> 00:23:03,430
Cooney. It's, yeah, shut down.

289
00:23:03,430 --> 00:23:11,530
But it's not, is it energy that is still the problem with it?

290
00:23:11,650 --> 00:23:15,550
Yeah, I don't know. I heard it needed upgrades for something but I haven't heard.

291
00:23:15,650 --> 00:23:18,630
I thought it was like the propane or something.

292
00:23:18,850 --> 00:23:20,530
It was just took too much energy.

293
00:23:20,850 --> 00:23:23,310
Yeah, I haven't heard that.

294
00:23:24,610 --> 00:23:28,150
But, you know, the Ag Park is still very active.

295
00:23:28,230 --> 00:23:31,810
I think it's actually just north of here in Nephi.

296
00:23:31,810 --> 00:23:36,650
because we're going to build the Ag Park and they've got the land and the water

297
00:23:36,650 --> 00:23:41,890
right so just try to entice some businesses to move to the Ag Park with this

298
00:23:41,890 --> 00:23:53,590
grant. Will that be part of the in one port? There is a stop here in Nephi so yeah.

299
00:24:06,150 --> 00:24:16,050
There's no, I think there's just no market for all the stuff that Kunis was right now so that's the challenge but we'll see.

300
00:24:16,510 --> 00:24:20,990
I know there's been people that wanted to buy Kunis but he was asking for a lot.

301
00:24:24,670 --> 00:24:29,870
I'm just curious if you're here. We're here in a lot of talk of stolen cattle right now.

302
00:24:30,330 --> 00:24:32,530
I don't know if you guys are hearing that in your areas.

303
00:24:33,030 --> 00:24:34,650
It scares me if you're saying that.

304
00:24:34,910 --> 00:24:41,250
Yeah. We've actually found two here and down in severe that have just been put your

305
00:24:41,250 --> 00:24:52,750
out in the field. Yeah, we've got rewards for those. So if you're hearing that let us know we

306
00:24:52,750 --> 00:24:59,390
can get investigators in your area right away but we don't know and people are just coming back

307
00:24:59,390 --> 00:25:05,220
and finding less and they don't know if it's predators or still ones but the price of beef I wouldn't

308
00:25:05,220 --> 00:25:17,500
shocked that some people are in some stallion, but we have heard of the sheet too, are

309
00:25:17,500 --> 00:25:23,380
they having the same trouble, or are you able to much there? Predator still a big issue.

310
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:29,720
I haven't heard of much sheet being stolen, but I know we're seeing a lot of predator.

311
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:40,360
The reason I came that back, I took a drive this weekend over there, I came into a camp and I was just loaded with J.C.'s.

312
00:25:40,420 --> 00:25:40,720
Oh, really?

313
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:42,000
And I don't know.

314
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:48,080
Mike or Sutton, if we have a prep problem, or who knows, you know.

315
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:49,300
Were they equal?

316
00:25:50,180 --> 00:25:50,960
My church chief?

317
00:25:51,420 --> 00:25:51,560
Yes.

318
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:52,640
Yes.

319
00:25:52,900 --> 00:25:53,620
Like 50?

320
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:53,960
Yeah.

321
00:26:12,300 --> 00:26:21,260
I had some employees in my dog get in the neighbors and they came to pick up 28 in like

322
00:26:26,620 --> 00:26:27,820
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

323
00:26:27,820 --> 00:26:29,840
That's not him or me or you know, it's not him.

324
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:30,140
That's not him or you know, it's not him.

325
00:26:30,140 --> 00:26:33,920
I have no idea what you have, but the places around is joy.

326
00:26:34,300 --> 00:26:35,180
That's okay.

327
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,000
Yeah, I've heard any say that.

328
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:39,940
We're sorry about that.

329
00:26:39,940 --> 00:26:43,500
It's $20 less than the other basically.

330
00:26:44,380 --> 00:26:45,580
$35 less.

331
00:26:48,620 --> 00:26:49,500
I was.

332
00:26:50,120 --> 00:26:50,820
I would.

333
00:26:50,820 --> 00:26:50,980
I would.

334
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:51,220
I would.

335
00:26:51,220 --> 00:26:51,240
I would.

336
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:51,900
somewhere.

337
00:26:54,380 --> 00:26:54,940
The

338
00:27:00,030 --> 00:27:10,730
sheep who owned the sheep? The sheep who owned the sheep? Either goreings

339
00:27:10,730 --> 00:27:23,270
or David Earl, or Selwyn's, Selwyn's. They're from that area.

340
00:27:24,050 --> 00:27:27,990
Anyway, they're out in Greenham City. The guys from Red River Pass.

341
00:27:29,810 --> 00:27:31,450
I don't know if they think so.

342
00:27:34,550 --> 00:27:38,490
We've had a couple cases out our way of cattle theft over the last two years.

343
00:27:38,490 --> 00:27:47,410
And guys caught them the rights and spent super frustrating because we can't get her county frost. Yeah, yeah, that's our

344
00:27:49,190 --> 00:27:55,890
That's the issue we're seeing is the county attorneys don't want to deal with it either, so we'll see this priority. Yeah, I

345
00:27:56,710 --> 00:27:59,490
Don't know if you saw the vandalism that was done. Yeah,

346
00:28:07,950 --> 00:28:08,470
I saw

347
00:28:08,470 --> 00:28:20,590
Yeah, I know. I guess they're so bogged down with drug, drug issues that they don't want

348
00:28:20,590 --> 00:28:24,810
to deal with cattle theft. And he's up for re-election.

349
00:28:28,170 --> 00:28:33,850
But yeah, if we need to get involved

350
00:28:33,850 --> 00:28:41,450
in any cattle theft, let us know. Well, we have the ability to, we have attorneys, so I'll

351
00:28:41,450 --> 00:28:47,650
put them to work if we have to. We'd like to use the local sheriff and local, we'd like

352
00:28:47,650 --> 00:28:51,270
to attorney, but if they're not going to step up, we'll find a way.

353
00:28:52,890 --> 00:28:59,150
If you prosecute a couple, yeah, it probably becomes a deterrent, but you need to prosecute

354
00:28:59,150 --> 00:29:02,770
I know. Yeah, I don't let that message on, right? Yeah, exactly.

355
00:29:05,030 --> 00:29:09,610
Yeah, a lot, you know, lots of

356
00:29:09,610 --> 00:29:13,990
talk of water optimization and obviously our drought meetings. I don't know if everyone knows

357
00:29:13,990 --> 00:29:20,990
so we start we're starting a tour of all of our drought meetings. It would be the week of April 21st,

358
00:29:20,990 --> 00:29:22,090
20.

359
00:29:24,850 --> 00:29:28,270
20. So let me get the exact dates for everyone.

360
00:29:29,890 --> 00:29:33,390
This week we'll send out our fire.

361
00:29:33,830 --> 00:29:39,470
We put it on social media but not that we decided that we'd do another

362
00:29:39,470 --> 00:29:46,750
mailer a little closer. It's been it's been pretty broad social it got a

363
00:29:46,750 --> 00:29:51,290
pretty big splash social media so I told him I said hold off on sending it out

364
00:29:56,450 --> 00:29:59,750
We just, you know, obviously we can't hit every town, but hopefully

365
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:29,760
Everyone can choose what you want to go to. If we need to do more, we'll do more if we need to, but our goals to get all the federal and state partners there to talk about resources and what their plans are for the drought. So, anticipating a lot of funding from the federal government. As you know, Trump's involved now. He tweeted out about the great thought lake. And there's talks of we send a billion dollar request to him.

366
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,320
So we'll see if he steps up and does that make it rain?

367
00:30:33,740 --> 00:30:36,000
Yeah, I hope so.

368
00:30:36,260 --> 00:30:42,360
They funded a program to do that.

369
00:30:42,740 --> 00:30:49,120
Yeah, but yeah, so we'll see.

370
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,340
I think we'll see a lot more water optimization money.

371
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:58,080
As you know, we may have known we did a water leasing program this year.

372
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:08,060
So if people want to lease their water for one of the grows instead of cutting, there's

373
00:31:08,060 --> 00:31:11,560
going to be money, but it won't start until next year, 2027.

374
00:31:12,460 --> 00:31:20,420
So we've got 2.7 million of ongoing funding for water leasing, and again, the price will

375
00:31:20,420 --> 00:31:26,360
be based on if it can get to the Great Salt Lake, or if they can shepherd it all the way there.

376
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:32,600
And I have some issues with that too because, you know, you're like this, we're in a drought.

377
00:31:33,020 --> 00:31:37,280
I suppose we're going to be sure that it's going to drive prices, hey, you know, now we're

378
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:42,660
kind of essentially competing with the state as a potential high buyer and it can be hard

379
00:31:42,660 --> 00:31:43,420
on live stuff.

380
00:31:44,060 --> 00:31:50,060
Yeah, an industry as a whole, but yeah, if someone's not growing hay and doing water leasing,

381
00:31:50,340 --> 00:31:51,060
yes, price.

382
00:31:51,060 --> 00:31:59,760
We did do some guard rails, they can't do it more than two out of five years so that it won't go out of ag production.

383
00:31:59,900 --> 00:32:11,040
There's quite a few guard rails, but truly we understand if someone was contracting that hay and others not growing, they could cause some issues.

384
00:32:11,700 --> 00:32:19,680
We also, if someone's leasing the land to someone that's growing, they can't qualify for that water leasing program.

385
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:26,560
And like how many acres they're like in that program is there 2.75 million won't go very far. I can tell you that.

386
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:28,600
Yeah.

387
00:32:31,620 --> 00:32:32,260
Yeah.

388
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:34,280
Yeah.

389
00:32:35,180 --> 00:32:42,860
So like just a hypothetical wall it has a wherever water.

390
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:48,160
I mean, it doesn't come down the river this year, can it still waste it to the, it might

391
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:49,500
be a good year to waste your water.

392
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:50,700
Yeah.

393
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:55,460
I mean, they're going to weigh if you're going to get that water anyway or not, right?

394
00:32:56,700 --> 00:33:01,320
You know, or if it was getting to the great, I've been concerned if it's already getting

395
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:07,100
to the Great Salt Lake, then so that's going to be all the water, state water, engineer,

396
00:33:07,340 --> 00:33:08,140
not us.

397
00:33:08,140 --> 00:33:14,040
So yeah, we discussed that we had three or four in a week of fee and the state engineer says

398
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,400
We probably won't

399
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:21,240
That probably won't have a good proof because you've got to go through a barrier or a barrier

400
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:24,860
So there's no way

401
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:28,860
Yeah

402
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,620
But I'm saying that I'm not looking for compensation

403
00:33:38,140 --> 00:33:54,340
But three years ago, as the Woodruff Narrows, we turned over to 1,200 acre feet of water out from 1,000 acre feet of water out and sent it straight to the lake to help them with the level and we never even got to die in the leaf in the newspaper or leave you in nothing.

404
00:33:54,760 --> 00:34:02,840
But you don't know that 1,000 acre feet doesn't do much to leave you in a 2,000,000 acre pet deficit.

405
00:34:06,620 --> 00:34:12,280
I mean, is the state got any, they look at, do like, zero skips though, I mean, look at

406
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:16,960
like, sort of different springs, I do it in there twice a week, and they replace that

407
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:18,140
solid by the freaking times.

408
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:18,820
Yeah.

409
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,760
And it's just five miles away and you're getting solid and everything.

410
00:34:22,660 --> 00:34:27,520
Like, I think, if you could do it, at any time it's now, push some newer cities after

411
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:28,680
zero skips that in the world.

412
00:34:28,980 --> 00:34:35,320
I mean, most new developments have to implement that already, based on new rules, but

413
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:39,640
There is a lot of incentives out there to pull your grass.

414
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:44,640
So there is lots of funding to change from grass to,

415
00:34:45,060 --> 00:34:47,300
but I think new developments, you'll see that

416
00:34:47,300 --> 00:34:49,360
their requirements are much different.

417
00:34:50,220 --> 00:34:51,320
And half the zero skates.

418
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:52,920
Yeah.

419
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,000
I think that's it for me, and I think it will be better.

420
00:34:58,620 --> 00:35:00,900
I want to thank you, Commissioner, and the whole acting

421
00:35:00,900 --> 00:35:03,640
in order for you to come up with the money to the gift program too.

422
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:08,080
That is a great tool with this thing as invested in and

423
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:09,800
save a lot of people in reality.

424
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:11,120
Yeah, thank you.

425
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,920
And it's really, I'm telling you, it's really good that we

426
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:18,820
have Mike Schultz as a speaker because the legislative

427
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,240
financial emphasis tried to cut that this year.

428
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,060
And he looked at that and just laughed.

429
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:26,160
I know you're not cutting that.

430
00:35:26,540 --> 00:35:30,240
So anytime you can think speaker Schultz,

431
00:35:30,240 --> 00:35:35,020
He's helped us keep that program and even got us more money towards that so.

432
00:35:37,670 --> 00:35:41,170
But Brian, I really like the touch on the drought. It's been a big one.

433
00:35:42,670 --> 00:35:47,110
Well, the guys I talked to is getting their self-hairs. They're just thinking there's a lot of them in the field for the summer.

434
00:35:48,410 --> 00:35:51,210
But a lot of what we knew about that was keep right for rain.

435
00:35:53,170 --> 00:35:57,970
Another thing, anything we do to educate kids is huge.

436
00:35:57,970 --> 00:36:01,510
We hosted a couple FFA tours here last month.

437
00:36:02,010 --> 00:36:09,870
Here I'm thinking I'm in rural Utah and majority of FFA kids should know that process

438
00:36:09,870 --> 00:36:16,090
is, oh it surprises me, it gets how wide our reach, they are how moved our whole process

439
00:36:16,090 --> 00:36:16,430
is.

440
00:36:16,570 --> 00:36:17,810
There is a livestock use.

441
00:36:18,310 --> 00:36:18,770
It's too long.

442
00:36:19,110 --> 00:36:23,330
So yeah, I'm saying anything we do that are going to get the education outspins.

443
00:36:24,630 --> 00:36:25,590
That's probably all.

444
00:36:26,710 --> 00:36:27,270
Thanks.

445
00:36:29,630 --> 00:36:33,830
I don't know, I might think other than Mrs. St. Maurice, everybody else does.

446
00:36:34,650 --> 00:36:35,570
All the big worries.

447
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,040
Jennifer Brant and our Bryce, are you two guys?

448
00:36:41,740 --> 00:36:43,240
Thank guys for being up there to run.

449
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:44,660
She's been enjoying it.

450
00:36:44,900 --> 00:36:45,400
Very weird.

451
00:36:45,940 --> 00:36:47,700
I think I'm just okay.

452
00:36:51,140 --> 00:36:52,360
And he's out of Brigham City?

453
00:36:52,620 --> 00:36:52,980
Yeah.

454
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:54,200
One number?

455
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:55,200
Yeah.

456
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,060
I did have one quite a thing this came to mind.

457
00:37:03,060 --> 00:37:08,780
We've run into a problem in San Pete County with it as far as our driveways and trails.

458
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:18,400
We've some are recorded with County and some most harm and so we've been doing a little

459
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:26,640
work on that just needing to figure out if your County's go over any commissioners, whoever

460
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:29,240
you need to talk to and try to get goals.

461
00:37:30,220 --> 00:37:35,320
somehow make order these months and make sure the trail rides in that.

462
00:37:35,740 --> 00:37:39,120
Yeah, a lot of them we call order and the end we've used them forever

463
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:45,220
and we should be because of use for historical use, but they never have been filed on the campus.

464
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,340
At least that means kind of shifted towards.

465
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:53,240
We need to make sure we have this record and order, it's not a lot of work.

466
00:37:53,240 --> 00:38:01,420
And we've got mostly the welders who push me like all the county jolts, everybody uses

467
00:38:01,420 --> 00:38:02,940
for cows, sheep, whatever.

468
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,860
Counting them in the nicest angles, it's not for my boys.

469
00:38:08,700 --> 00:38:13,800
But the welders are saying no, once there's nothing recorded on them.

470
00:38:13,980 --> 00:38:17,400
And so you don't have to be using a rideway and using it.

471
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,360
So they're not long getting used to it.

472
00:38:19,860 --> 00:38:24,720
So, were we running across, there's about half mile stretch, they wanted to shut down on them.

473
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,440
So move your animals, you can have a truck on them.

474
00:38:28,780 --> 00:38:29,560
It's through that.

475
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:36,780
It is the world for warning everybody to make sure they shut down.

476
00:38:37,140 --> 00:38:38,720
Yeah, well they wanted to.

477
00:38:39,060 --> 00:38:41,700
We were like, oh, was this been used for hundreds of years.

478
00:38:43,580 --> 00:38:45,260
And then we had a couple trails.

479
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:55,840
They were going to cut miles of gas, well, I think you're the money of the people about that.

480
00:38:56,340 --> 00:38:59,420
They were going to be counting as they were going to go into their economic development.

481
00:38:59,900 --> 00:39:02,900
They're going to have gas, and they're going to wind up the pollution.

482
00:39:03,100 --> 00:39:04,060
They're going to be neutral.

483
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:06,320
And they barely got out of the shed now.

484
00:39:06,540 --> 00:39:07,500
And well, we're still fine.

485
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,180
That's kind of what brought everything to mind.

486
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:18,120
So it's the water running there like a tribe, like the shore water we're using, and it's

487
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:19,180
a report of these things.

488
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:25,000
So it's critical that you get your counties to record those, because I think years ago

489
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:32,460
Brad Johnson put some stuff in state code about livestock trails and rights of way, and so

490
00:39:32,460 --> 00:39:38,960
I think there's some legislation there, maybe it's time to go back and we look at it.

491
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:46,340
It has been a lot of years back, but I know the Brad when he was a senator, he did some

492
00:39:46,340 --> 00:39:53,340
work on those rights of whites and trails, historic trails to get in the code.

493
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:55,500
And he did.

494
00:39:56,020 --> 00:40:00,560
And now he knows how to push the back home and I was working on sound, state, and some

495
00:40:01,620 --> 00:40:11,340
I think they're going to try to change into the offense here, which way before we do that?

496
00:40:11,740 --> 00:40:20,340
That's the continuing pressure for that and it's one that if you even started to take that to the state legislature we would lose.

497
00:40:22,720 --> 00:40:23,720
What does this mean?

498
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,400
On the state level, that's why it's important to keep it at the local and county.

499
00:40:32,100 --> 00:40:38,480
And again, that's not something that this board would deal with, but this board doesn't

500
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:45,260
deal with those legislation, but it's the pressures there.

501
00:40:45,260 --> 00:40:45,800
Yeah.

502
00:40:46,620 --> 00:40:50,640
If it happens in the old side of the area, it's going to happen anywhere.

503
00:40:51,100 --> 00:40:52,620
It's happening around both.

504
00:40:53,100 --> 00:41:00,160
Took a call out of Los Ash County a couple of weeks ago and similar for asking questions

505
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:00,900
about it.

506
00:41:00,900 --> 00:41:01,380
It's

507
00:41:04,710 --> 00:41:16,510
just border warning here, so, well, we're going to change the world, the computation for the plan, and maybe get it to places where it's going to just get worse.

508
00:41:21,180 --> 00:41:32,140
We actually had a situation years ago where we had people who were counted from our grass, and it was on the time we were moving the price of approach to the monastic.

509
00:41:32,140 --> 00:41:38,400
Can you please move your campers so we told you damage to your belongings and they were

510
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:45,780
drunk and they refused and we had to get an officer there and we've now established

511
00:41:45,780 --> 00:41:52,360
signs that say September 15th to October 15th there's no camping in this site it has

512
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:58,460
been respected it has been respected but there was a lot of threats you know I'm taking your

513
00:41:58,460 --> 00:42:04,560
cameras, I'm taking your trucks, I'm taking your guns, we're going to jail before there was respect.

514
00:42:04,900 --> 00:42:11,710
So we do have some means to stand up ourselves on trails, which are less different, but in

515
00:42:13,070 --> 00:42:15,710
I think we have a little bit more there than we can pull.

516
00:42:15,970 --> 00:42:20,050
We have to really get officers to be a little bit faster than to care that.

517
00:42:21,490 --> 00:42:24,190
It's been awesome. We don't have lots of trucks in it.

518
00:42:25,310 --> 00:42:28,970
But that's a plus that we use to go that way.

519
00:42:33,530 --> 00:42:38,370
There's anything else that is just like this droughts affecting people

520
00:42:38,370 --> 00:42:44,570
to the lounge, where to find some feed, where to find a place to remember cattle.

521
00:42:45,150 --> 00:42:50,350
And I feel depression because a lot of them won't call me about it, but I don't know what else I can do about it.

522
00:42:50,750 --> 00:42:51,910
It's going to be an exciting look.

523
00:42:53,670 --> 00:42:58,010
Hoping around the corner it's going to change for the better, not the worst.

524
00:42:59,470 --> 00:43:03,190
My mom always said there would be tough days, but sometimes she gets there to be years.

525
00:43:06,870 --> 00:43:08,130
It's going to be all right.

526
00:43:08,130 --> 00:43:09,370
And we all care.

527
00:43:14,590 --> 00:43:15,170
Okay, what?

528
00:43:16,150 --> 00:43:16,230
Okay.

529
00:43:18,110 --> 00:43:18,550
Yeah.

530
00:43:18,890 --> 00:43:19,690
Well, it's going around.

531
00:43:21,130 --> 00:43:21,790
I don't know.

532
00:43:22,010 --> 00:43:22,110
I don't know.

533
00:43:22,110 --> 00:43:24,870
There's hopefully an exciting thing that will come to Utah there.

534
00:43:25,770 --> 00:43:29,010
There's been a company wants to come, but a A2 look might.

535
00:43:29,390 --> 00:43:29,970
A food look might.

536
00:43:33,410 --> 00:43:36,390
They've approached us as one of our own.

537
00:43:36,730 --> 00:43:41,150
And a couple others just to see how many A2 produce the cows that are around there.

538
00:43:42,010 --> 00:43:45,970
They want to start making a million pounds a week, and then we're getting to what they've done today.

539
00:43:47,850 --> 00:43:53,050
So that's when there's a set of stone, hopefully that happens because it's pretty good premium on that note.

540
00:43:54,310 --> 00:43:56,090
And that would help you talk a lot.

541
00:43:56,430 --> 00:43:57,470
We've got a lot of engine plans.

542
00:43:58,610 --> 00:44:00,110
We've got to be interested in some more.

543
00:44:00,550 --> 00:44:04,130
So help us understand what's A2.

544
00:44:05,490 --> 00:44:10,830
There's a two, a one, a two cows, there's a two, a two cows, a two, a two cow, the beta

545
00:44:10,830 --> 00:44:15,630
casing is broken. It's more than adjustable. It's like like the lactate, that type of

546
00:44:15,630 --> 00:44:18,790
military. That's like that. It's more than adjustable.

547
00:44:20,310 --> 00:44:22,430
Have they talked about where to go to?

548
00:44:45,500 --> 00:44:51,540
Yeah, some smaller days that we didn't ever breathe for that, we'd regret it for 20 years,

549
00:44:51,540 --> 00:44:54,080
So, like, thanks for everything to you too.

550
00:44:56,460 --> 00:44:58,720
But yeah, I hope we got parents out because of you.

551
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:06,520
I've had a couple of months. I've really had a couple of months. It's tight. Black cats, keep it. Keep it, keep it.

552
00:45:06,780 --> 00:45:12,540
You've seen milk prices. It's very good right now, are they? No, it's about a great keep. It's with black cats.

553
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:25,680
I mean, they're staying across the country, black cats are at $4.00, they're once underwood. So, hopefully. Well, if we can entice them with the grant to come here, you know that grant. That's processing.

554
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:30,900
The problem with milk plants, when you get into the 10-way diagram, it's just a drop of

555
00:45:30,900 --> 00:45:31,100
milk.

556
00:45:31,180 --> 00:45:31,560
And I know.

557
00:45:31,740 --> 00:45:34,400
But that's what I'm just going to be able to know is.

558
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:41,280
But I mean, one like that, a million pounds, I don't know what that plant costs, but I don't

559
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:42,960
know if it's really able to do it.

560
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:44,900
Yeah.

561
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:50,100
So hopefully that bags out, that would be a great thing for you, though.

562
00:45:50,860 --> 00:45:52,040
We're kind of in this weird split.

563
00:45:52,820 --> 00:45:57,120
We got a lot of processing up in cash value, and then we have processing.

564
00:45:58,340 --> 00:46:03,720
You know, it's all like they do play a lot of pounds, but you can catch them at the end of the day, it's two and half and three.

565
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:07,240
They're going to add another million and they're going to do that a lot just to get people with that.

566
00:46:09,810 --> 00:46:13,090
So hopefully we get a plan somewhere that we can hear.

567
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:20,380
Jacob, do you want to wait for me?

568
00:46:20,420 --> 00:46:21,180
It's just finished.

569
00:46:22,720 --> 00:46:33,560
Just maybe one thing I was at the executive and CBA executive committee meeting we'd go and

570
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:43,120
just an FYI kind of need for you to one of the things we did is evaluated the environmental

571
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:49,700
stewardship award with applications of reach and set of reach in three applicants.

572
00:46:49,700 --> 00:46:54,560
one from Utah, one from Arizona, and one from New Mexico.

573
00:46:56,160 --> 00:47:02,020
And they were probably the closest, toughest region

574
00:47:02,700 --> 00:47:03,660
that there was.

575
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:10,960
Tim and Worry, they won the region six by around the

576
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,420
stewardship of the region winners.

577
00:47:13,660 --> 00:47:18,120
And I think their application and their, I think they'll do,

578
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:22,180
I mean, they're very competitive with the national level, as well.

579
00:47:22,700 --> 00:47:28,840
So, they didn't select the national winners at the point, they just select the regional

580
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:29,220
gap.

581
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:30,020
Yeah.

582
00:47:30,420 --> 00:47:34,960
They don't, you know, it usually, some are business, me.

583
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:42,520
One of the things that's happened, there's a little bit of concern about the funding for

584
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:52,380
this for the environmental stewardship. The NRCS is not funded and they've been

585
00:47:52,380 --> 00:47:59,000
made one of the not not the soft funding source but one of the main funding

586
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:06,700
sources and there they just got paid for the 2025 one and they haven't paid the

587
00:48:06,700 --> 00:48:14,160
2026, which was awarded a national convention, and it's starting to be a little bit of a concern

588
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,120
for me to get this funded.

589
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:19,900
Okay.

590
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:26,300
So, question being, we've announced it here, but the official announcement is until summer business

591
00:48:26,300 --> 00:48:28,880
meeting, so I don't think this is...

592
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:29,740
I don't think it's public.

593
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:37,580
Tim and Lori know what, Tim and Lori know that they've been selected but it's not

594
00:48:37,580 --> 00:48:41,500
going to go public to the public until some of the business meetings, so.

595
00:48:41,720 --> 00:48:51,220
Yeah, it's not, not, not, not, probably, probably something, so they will announce the winners

596
00:48:51,220 --> 00:48:54,280
at some of the region at the summer business meeting.

597
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:00,400
Anyhow, that's all I have, Wally.

598
00:49:02,700 --> 00:49:04,280
It's still amazing to meet you there.

599
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:08,420
So much you still have your thoughts about these.

600
00:49:09,500 --> 00:49:14,540
It's going to seem like social media.

601
00:49:15,340 --> 00:49:16,440
It's still very positive.

602
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:17,640
I said it.

603
00:49:21,020 --> 00:49:21,600
Good product.

604
00:49:23,260 --> 00:49:25,300
I'm like man, it kind of starts some time.

605
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:27,880
One person says they brought a better than another.

606
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:31,940
But hopefully, I'll give you a way to match it as always, it's good.

607
00:49:33,460 --> 00:49:37,120
But I think it's fantastic to consider what you're stepping up on.

608
00:49:37,700 --> 00:49:42,200
Saying it's nutrition, the balance there, the benefits are there.

609
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:44,380
Health benefits are still there.

610
00:49:45,660 --> 00:49:52,480
We're not seeing quite as much negative publicity from doctors.

611
00:49:52,480 --> 00:50:03,300
I think maybe some of the medical groups take it away from the world and they've got to come to the world and we want to benefit it.

612
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:08,780
She'll probably even be reporting about some kids that went out, won't she?

613
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:19,400
We did send out some kids. We said last time we did, but yeah, there went another round of kids too, so it was to those offices for doctors and, you know,

614
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:26,640
It doesn't hold, you know, PAs, positions, assistants and whatnot, so they'll seem to do that.

615
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:32,180
I think what we're going to contact, I think people are really nice and kind of important.

616
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:35,260
The dairy is the beef industry.

617
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:38,000
I think they're really nice in there.

618
00:50:39,420 --> 00:50:43,420
There's a lot of beef that comes from the dairy, so it's very positive.

619
00:50:51,650 --> 00:51:14,150
I think the voluntary program is not a real game changer, I think it will help with marketing, short-term, and I think it will allow long-term to people to steal the lives of other quality beef and that where it comes from, especially our growing and different things.

620
00:51:34,340 --> 00:51:39,880
I know in the age industry when it went cage-free to cage-states, you know what the consumer

621
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:44,200
did, about the cheap break, didn't matter what it was.

622
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:46,900
So where is that now of the state?

623
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:51,520
I mean, the egg industry in Utah wanted to go to the cage for it.

624
00:51:51,540 --> 00:51:53,960
Yeah, they made it volunteer.

625
00:51:54,540 --> 00:51:57,180
Because they were worried that California did,

626
00:51:57,480 --> 00:51:59,380
and then we were going to be willing to go highway.

627
00:51:59,820 --> 00:52:02,980
See, and I think California is even backpedaling now too.

628
00:52:03,380 --> 00:52:08,260
But yeah, the legislation never passed anything to make it, yeah.

629
00:52:09,740 --> 00:52:15,200
Well, and that's where a lot of the discussion, and it goes back to some things that you said

630
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:20,740
earlier, people have opinions of what they want and what they perceive as out there that

631
00:52:20,740 --> 00:52:21,540
people want.

632
00:52:22,380 --> 00:52:28,420
Of course, if any one of us, if we're asked, would you want to know where your meat is, do

633
00:52:28,420 --> 00:52:30,580
you prefer to buy a American?

634
00:52:30,900 --> 00:52:36,180
Yeah, well, all the way for red white and blue flag, the question is when we step up to the

635
00:52:36,180 --> 00:52:43,260
In my case, do we really even bother to look and a lot of consumers don't care enough

636
00:52:43,260 --> 00:52:43,700
to look?

637
00:52:43,940 --> 00:52:55,300
And so the surveys, those types of things tend to be way more than the real surveys with

638
00:52:55,300 --> 00:52:58,000
some of these dollopils, so they're all there.

639
00:52:58,700 --> 00:53:03,500
And it's like, yeah, I'll tell you, I'll tell you what I would like, but am I really going

640
00:53:03,500 --> 00:53:05,760
to pay to do those kind of things?

641
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:12,020
And I think that's where, you know, you see a lot of people with interest in buying local

642
00:53:12,020 --> 00:53:17,540
from a producer until they find out that buying half a beef is a lot of money.

643
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,120
And then their interest starts to wane.

644
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:26,840
You don't understand the off-throw or, you know, like that whole conversation, and, yeah.

645
00:53:26,860 --> 00:53:32,460
And, you know, we do a lot of helping people understand, you know, what are you going to

646
00:53:32,460 --> 00:53:33,260
get with that?

647
00:53:33,260 --> 00:53:39,760
But a lot of times you know if I get somebody that just cold calls and asks about I want to buy a half a beef

648
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:47,680
My one of my first questions is do you know how to use a half a beef what what beef cuts do you use most people?

649
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:51,280
They're using about four or five cuts a beef and

650
00:53:52,060 --> 00:53:55,220
Then all of the sudden well I wanted a half a beef, but I only got

651
00:53:57,620 --> 00:54:00,360
12 ribbys. Yeah, and I spent

652
00:54:01,220 --> 00:54:04,120
$2,000 and I only got 12 ribbys days

653
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:09,000
And so sometimes I've even had conversations with people saying,

654
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:11,740
what is it that you use, what is it that you like?

655
00:54:12,260 --> 00:54:14,860
Take that money and go buy what you want, agree?

656
00:54:15,020 --> 00:54:17,260
Then you don't end up with a freezer full of stew meat

657
00:54:17,260 --> 00:54:18,960
that you have no idea what to do.

658
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:25,920
And that's, if somebody knows what to do with a half of beef,

659
00:54:26,100 --> 00:54:28,220
that's an economical way to do it.

660
00:54:28,660 --> 00:54:32,040
But my bit is that there are a lot of freezers out there

661
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:35,060
in this world that's got packages that stew meat and

662
00:54:35,060 --> 00:54:38,720
tube steaks that people are not right sure what they're doing with them.

663
00:54:41,580 --> 00:54:45,080
On a lot of people that are selling to the consumer aren't

664
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:49,020
necessarily doing the whole half or quarter necessarily they're

665
00:54:49,020 --> 00:54:53,100
separating it out in a box and they kind of get what they want and

666
00:54:53,100 --> 00:54:54,760
those kind of things are beneficial.

667
00:54:55,140 --> 00:54:58,040
That is a great video topic. How do I use a quarter of a

668
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:10,720
What do I get, and is it what I'm going to use versus, you know, if I take $2,000 that

669
00:55:10,720 --> 00:55:16,940
I would spend on this, I can get this in the forecast that I actually do use.

670
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:23,680
I think that'd be a helpful video, you know, because I mean that's quite honestly, you know,

671
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:27,700
that's I've even had that discussion with my wife there are the things that we

672
00:55:27,700 --> 00:55:32,760
like and I'm not going to go out and butcher a beef and have a bunch of stuff

673
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:40,780
sitting in the freezer and we eventually use it all but again sometimes it's

674
00:55:40,780 --> 00:55:45,620
easier yeah go and go and get you know spend and get what you're gonna use what

675
00:55:45,620 --> 00:55:49,680
you're familiar with what you'll have success where that's the other thing is

676
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:55,520
This is a lot of these cuts, they just won't have success in preparing it, and yeah,

677
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:59,680
we need to be selling the whole product, but again, we want to consumer that's happened

678
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:06,940
with what they're doing, and so I think we need to kind of tailor those messages, but

679
00:56:06,940 --> 00:56:12,140
the very first thing you can tell that they're agreeing is I want to buy a cow.

680
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:13,780
Yeah, agree.

681
00:56:14,500 --> 00:56:15,980
I want to stock up my freezer.

682
00:56:15,980 --> 00:56:20,480
I want to buy a car here, you know, so I'm not wanting to buy a V if I'm not wanting to have a V

683
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:23,420
or I bought a car when I don't know what to do with it.

684
00:56:24,420 --> 00:56:27,860
So, you can tell right off of that I bought a car.

685
00:56:29,820 --> 00:56:31,160
Well, thank you everyone.

686
00:56:32,220 --> 00:56:35,460
I will move on to program update, Jacob.

687
00:56:35,980 --> 00:56:44,220
Yeah, so, surprisingly, we just met not too long ago, so there's not going to be a big long program or more.

688
00:56:44,220 --> 00:56:50,700
So, dry your eyes and all of this, you know, okay, so, uh, we're not here.

689
00:56:51,460 --> 00:56:52,680
We've been here for a bit.

690
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:53,760
What you came for, huh?

691
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:59,940
We are the, um, the calendar for April for AIDS, the website we crashed.

692
00:57:00,380 --> 00:57:04,480
So, I think it would be probably in the front running area for the first days.

693
00:57:05,500 --> 00:57:10,080
Our state site isn't like this monster site with a lot of stuff on it.

694
00:57:10,100 --> 00:57:12,040
So, they want to try and tackle some of those.

695
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:18,680
We're going to use this word, the training ground, because we don't have as much to refresh

696
00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:23,340
and to change up, but we will start that process in April.

697
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:28,180
So the national site just went under a refresh, and now they're coming up to the States and

698
00:57:28,180 --> 00:57:29,380
trying to make them kind of amateur.

699
00:57:29,940 --> 00:57:34,180
They've come up with new defense whisperer to enter brand guidelines and a new look and

700
00:57:34,180 --> 00:57:39,840
then kind of a feel how everything should be looking, so a lot of advertising is looking

701
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:45,860
not way and so for all those sites that are hosted through national which ours is, they've

702
00:57:45,860 --> 00:57:50,880
offered the refreshments so we'll be working on that before you go. One of the things

703
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:58,720
that got national as well as ours, AI scrubs all of these sites for the information and

704
00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:06,820
so our national team has put a lot of effort into figuring out what is the best way for

705
00:58:06,820 --> 00:58:13,800
are sites to be presentable to AI so that our information is what's picked up

706
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:21,020
when they're doing the AI overviews. It draws from our sites. If you all read the

707
00:58:21,020 --> 00:58:27,320
newsletter there was an article about that. There'll be a test.

708
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:36,420
So, some of these videos that I've been able to produce would the website be a place to put some of those or no?

709
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:45,860
Depends on what they were. So, like, if it was, hey, what do I get in my box B for what do I get with a core of B for whatever?

710
00:58:46,340 --> 00:58:52,200
Those could easily, we could find a place to put those on local rancher and local beef.

711
00:58:52,860 --> 00:58:56,700
We already do have a, okay, so yield and all this.

712
00:58:56,860 --> 00:58:57,980
What am I getting with this?

713
00:58:58,100 --> 00:58:59,300
How to figure out what kind of cuts?

714
00:58:59,780 --> 00:59:02,800
So those types of videos could be housed there

715
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:06,500
as just in the extra bit of information for people.

716
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:09,280
Okay, just in case, by case, kind of a big hit.

717
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:09,920
I think so.

718
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:16,380
And, you know, if it leaves more policy or something like that,

719
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:17,200
then it would be a big hit.

720
00:59:17,220 --> 00:59:19,760
No, it's all supposed to be strictly paid function.

721
00:59:19,940 --> 00:59:20,080
Yeah.

722
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:24,160
So chances are, yes, we could do that.

723
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:31,360
So we did just put out a, just a beef ad in the Farm Bureau magazine.

724
00:59:32,180 --> 00:59:38,900
We just had the annual meeting for dietitians and we, in their swag bags, they all got some

725
00:59:38,900 --> 00:59:39,240
jerky.

726
00:59:39,420 --> 00:59:45,840
They love the jerky so we, we keep them happy with a bag of jerky and then we did sponsor

727
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:51,980
or a speaker, his name is Chris Moore, and he did kind of go for the New Dietary Guidelines.

728
00:59:52,740 --> 00:59:59,980
And, you know, it's a hot topic in the nutrition field right now, so you see all sorts of things.

729
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:29,780
Right, and we did discuss the parabits, not parabits, more of a triangle, more of an image, and the reality for those that don't delve too deep into dietary guidelines is the dietary guidelines really haven't changed that much themselves. Now, the image that they've used to create is drawing some darts from different areas, just because one, it's not the great visual representation

730
01:00:29,780 --> 01:00:39,580
how people eat, how do you actually look at this upside down triangle and the guidelines themselves focus on all foods.

731
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:47,420
I mean you're sugar, make sure you're eating out of the protein. So we fit in all those guidelines as they have and as they have before.

732
01:00:48,140 --> 01:00:55,640
So we're sitting well as we have because of nutrition research that has been done over the many past years,

733
01:00:55,640 --> 01:01:00,420
that a high-vitamination nutrition can throw in an healthy diet, all those things that it does.

734
01:01:01,140 --> 01:01:06,120
And these new guidelines just kind of still are still supporting us.

735
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:10,680
So while that graphic doesn't do great,

736
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:13,520
even as a dietitian myself,

737
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:20,940
I don't like the graphic because it doesn't help show you what it all means.

738
01:01:20,940 --> 01:01:26,400
And that's what the graphic should be, is like a visual representation of those timelines.

739
01:01:26,900 --> 01:01:31,500
The plague worked a lot better, and that's none of them either here or there.

740
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:38,140
So it's there now, but our nutrition communications will remain the same, as they always have been

741
01:01:38,140 --> 01:01:44,760
based upon the great research that's been done through the check-off and had great discussions

742
01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:51,300
with the dietitians there, and protein is at the forefront, and particularly another

743
01:01:51,300 --> 01:01:58,440
issue that is becoming very common places, people on GLP1 medications, and what they're

744
01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:05,780
finding is the most important thing for GLP1 is protein and fiber, and so those people

745
01:02:05,780 --> 01:02:10,440
that are taking so many of it, can't feel like they eat very much, focus is on high quality

746
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:14,960
protein and a lot of the discussion with those dietitians was well we don't you know they don't

747
01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:18,560
love the protein shakes and they don't like the protein foods and it's like we'll focus on those

748
01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:24,840
whole foods and that's where it be shines so we can we can highlight that and there are a lot of

749
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:30,960
people that are that are taking those medications and they just affect people's hunger and society and

750
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:38,520
the desire to eat. One of the things I've heard about that is that that like you know it's

751
01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:48,380
it limits your appetite and basically it makes it more difficult to have proper nutrition.

752
01:02:49,700 --> 01:02:55,080
And so if you're beating that much less, what you do eat has to be really high quality.

753
01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:59,140
And that's exactly where the science gets very small amount of calories.

754
01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:01,360
You get large amount of nutrition.

755
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:06,540
So, yeah, that's something that's going to be an issue for twice in time.

756
01:03:06,980 --> 01:03:11,420
So, as more and more of those medications become more mainstream and people get on them.

757
01:03:11,640 --> 01:03:13,060
So, we'll keep with that.

758
01:03:14,300 --> 01:03:21,600
We signed our KTV contract and our channel core contract went on.

759
01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:24,220
We're supposed to go on the moon with Food Man issues on vacation.

760
01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:26,540
So, I just went on with Ron and Mary and that was great.

761
01:03:26,780 --> 01:03:29,580
I didn't get to teach her anything about beef as she wasn't there,

762
01:03:29,580 --> 01:03:43,300
but it was it was great very factual segment without her and this week this

763
01:03:43,300 --> 01:03:48,260
week we'll do the first fresh living segment so that means a little different

764
01:03:48,260 --> 01:03:51,160
where you have to kind of be ready with your thing you've got three to five

765
01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:57,320
minutes to talk so I'm gonna do sloppy Joe's five ways highlights sloppy Joe's

766
01:03:57,320 --> 01:04:01,200
and then the different ways that you can make them to change it a little bit.

767
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:05,180
Highlight beast nutrition, it still has a great value around beef.

768
01:04:06,140 --> 01:04:10,040
Now, as all they've talked about, price of beef is, I mean, it's there.

769
01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:14,120
Now, the price of everything is, consumers are really kind of feeling the squeeze.

770
01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:20,640
And so, we have to be cognizant when we're doing these types of discussions.

771
01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:22,140
There are, there's a segment of that.

772
01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:24,340
Population is, you can, like, are you still out of touch?

773
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:25,540
I can't even afford beef.

774
01:04:25,540 --> 01:04:32,160
And so we've got to highlight the economical uses of beef, the great recipes that stretch

775
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:32,920
those type of things.

776
01:04:33,180 --> 01:04:37,000
So I'm going to be talking about outbreak ground beef is if you can even just extend your

777
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:37,440
gum ease.

778
01:04:37,900 --> 01:04:42,500
Add a little bit of mushrooms or if you've beans or lentils or something like that and these

779
01:04:42,500 --> 01:04:43,120
mixed dishes.

780
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:47,720
You still got all that high quality protein, it's a little cheaper if you can feed your family

781
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:51,380
and it's still cheaper than going out by no small stretch.

782
01:04:51,380 --> 01:04:56,460
So those are kind of some of the type of points that we kind of have to be aware of when we're talking about

783
01:04:57,140 --> 01:05:02,460
beef just because for some consumers, they feel like it's average for some.

784
01:05:03,020 --> 01:05:06,900
But there are still other consumers that it doesn't matter they're buying it regardless.

785
01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:10,340
So they have a 8-0 bag of potato chips.

786
01:05:10,380 --> 01:05:10,580
Right.

787
01:05:11,340 --> 01:05:12,000
And there's more.

788
01:05:12,300 --> 01:05:15,680
That's how you say you can buy a half of a state for that.

789
01:05:17,660 --> 01:05:18,920
It's all relative, right?

790
01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:19,260
I am pregnant.

791
01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:20,720
3 hours in a row.

792
01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:21,500
Are you not getting any information?

793
01:05:24,780 --> 01:05:26,200
Right, such as this.

794
01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:30,320
Jacob are these TV segments about white and real life?

795
01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:31,940
I don't watch a lot of TV, so I never see them.

796
01:05:32,140 --> 01:05:33,800
But it is like our Wig INN access to them.

797
01:05:33,960 --> 01:05:34,940
I still watch their videos.

798
01:05:36,100 --> 01:05:38,840
So with the new website Refresh,

799
01:05:39,220 --> 01:05:40,960
my plan is to have a little spot in.

800
01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:44,660
As I've seen on TV, they sent us the video.

801
01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:46,500
So they can reuse as we would like.

802
01:05:46,500 --> 01:05:59,120
And so we will repost a lot of the channel of horses on our Facebook page, but yeah, they're there and available, so we do have them on there.

803
01:05:59,300 --> 01:06:04,720
And they put them on there on their social media sites, so you can go and see.

804
01:06:06,140 --> 01:06:11,880
So channel 4 on every Thursday, and then, you know, we'll have 12 through the year on channel 2.

805
01:06:14,540 --> 01:06:21,160
So, at Uland, I visited with one of the professors there, she's there at Southern New

806
01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:25,740
Thai University, and they were interested, she asked me last year about if we'd

807
01:06:25,740 --> 01:06:30,000
fund any research research because they like to do research in their

808
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:34,180
nutrition department. I said, we haven't typically funded the research just

809
01:06:34,180 --> 01:06:38,240
because of our budget and typically research tends to be a little more

810
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:42,560
expensive. She reached out to me again, talked to me and said, hey, if I put together a proposal,

811
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:48,740
can I send you something? And so she did send her a proposal. The most unfortunate thing is she

812
01:06:48,740 --> 01:06:50,960
said, I don't have a budget assigned to that.

813
01:06:53,180 --> 01:06:55,220
She just said it to me yesterday. He's like, well,

814
01:06:56,080 --> 01:07:00,300
he's kind of hard on us to judge whether or not this is a proposal we can entertain.

815
01:07:02,340 --> 01:07:07,840
And so I said, just give me kind of a ballpark. Just put this in your mind and maybe next

816
01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:12,700
Next, next meeting, we can have kind of a budget since next meeting is going to be budget

817
01:07:12,700 --> 01:07:13,020
meeting.

818
01:07:13,600 --> 01:07:17,820
But the project title is Muscle Health and Lead Consumption Assessment in Middle-Age

819
01:07:17,820 --> 01:07:20,360
and Healthy Adults in the Southern Utah community.

820
01:07:21,180 --> 01:07:26,000
So they want to establish, be strong, healthy, easy patterns across cultures, life stages

821
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:31,180
and socioeconomic status, specifically how they be, because it's a sustainable protein within

822
01:07:31,180 --> 01:07:33,640
the core domains of sustainable food systems.

823
01:07:34,140 --> 01:07:35,060
So it does have potential.

824
01:07:35,060 --> 01:07:41,960
So, she said mostly it would be providing the meat with something something and so I need

825
01:07:41,960 --> 01:07:47,860
to get more details but if the board is interested we could entertain them.

826
01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:54,600
Look at it, not look at just board her along to a national safety fit in their research budget.

827
01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:59,020
She didn't think it was going to be huge but I don't know what she thinks huge is so.

828
01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:15,160
So I'm just bringing it to your attention that she's been visiting with us, so I will have it ready for the next meeting, but just as you're thinking about it, thinking about research, so just stuff I'm doing.

829
01:08:15,160 --> 01:08:19,440
And then lastly, we are working on our

830
01:08:19,440 --> 01:08:21,040
Tuesday's burger battle promotion

831
01:08:21,040 --> 01:08:22,460
part of the very way.

832
01:08:23,500 --> 01:08:27,240
We've been meaning weekly to try and get this rolling.

833
01:08:27,440 --> 01:08:29,320
It's something the other states have done.

834
01:08:29,620 --> 01:08:34,180
The plan is to have restaurants nominate themselves.

835
01:08:34,900 --> 01:08:37,580
So the first stage is to get some finalists

836
01:08:37,580 --> 01:08:40,140
we're thinking up to 30 restaurants across the state.

837
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:43,920
And then the voting would happen

838
01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:50,880
for about a month for consumers will utilize NCBA's digital marketing. They put together

839
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:57,020
on the proposal for us to so that we can put out information digitally to the number

840
01:08:57,020 --> 01:09:02,260
we're having, so that we can know about the promotion. We'll utilize our good things Utah

841
01:09:02,260 --> 01:09:06,940
segments to highlight what's going on there. And the goal is to get people out to try

842
01:09:06,940 --> 01:09:13,000
to use these words, have some finalists. And then the last would be judging in August

843
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:15,220
and we're thinking about putting together,

844
01:09:15,820 --> 01:09:18,920
depending on where all these finalists are located,

845
01:09:19,380 --> 01:09:22,360
is to try and get some of you on the board

846
01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:26,140
actually as final judgements are going to have to happen.

847
01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:32,780
And then the winning one will receive the best shape

848
01:09:32,780 --> 01:09:34,940
for a couple of them, a little bit of a nice little trophy.

849
01:09:35,260 --> 01:09:38,000
And then they get to come on good things to tell with us

850
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:39,960
and we'll highlight that particular restaurant

851
01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:41,680
and burgers and one box.

852
01:09:42,100 --> 01:09:46,380
So there's a lot of things that we're trying to put together.

853
01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:50,920
So, Jacob hadn't proposed to let these restaurants know.

854
01:09:51,560 --> 01:09:53,440
I think they're not me and theirself,

855
01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:56,340
that we also could not be talking to them and say,

856
01:09:56,580 --> 01:09:58,140
hey, I was in the new competition,

857
01:09:58,140 --> 01:10:00,700
because I will be just a direct lead.

858
01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:03,360
We have a visit with the Ferris Strong Association,

859
01:10:04,060 --> 01:10:07,560
and they have connections there to this and this is what we do.

860
01:10:11,080 --> 01:10:17,800
We're trying to do as much as possible without utilizing the budget, and then we'll supply

861
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:23,900
things like table cards and put the QR codes in window rooms and those types of things so

862
01:10:23,900 --> 01:10:29,160
people can, when they go in, they can take the burger and it has to be a cheat or a disaster.

863
01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:44,420
So, the goal is we're going to have a separate kind of nomination stuff through May, June and then hopefully, June to live.

864
01:10:44,940 --> 01:10:47,720
We have a promotion running in July, September.

865
01:10:48,580 --> 01:10:49,920
I want to be the judge.

866
01:10:51,260 --> 01:10:52,060
I want to come to you.

867
01:10:52,200 --> 01:10:52,980
I want to come to you.

868
01:10:59,060 --> 01:11:02,400
So we'll send you all out of score, shake you, run around the state.

869
01:11:03,380 --> 01:11:03,820
Yeah.

870
01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:04,680
Yeah.

871
01:11:04,680 --> 01:11:04,740
Yeah.

872
01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:05,800
Yeah.

873
01:11:06,500 --> 01:11:06,700
Yeah.

874
01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:08,600
Yeah.

875
01:11:10,340 --> 01:11:10,580
Yeah.

876
01:11:10,860 --> 01:11:11,140
Yeah.

877
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:11,940
Yeah.

878
01:11:12,140 --> 01:11:12,260
Yeah.

879
01:11:12,260 --> 01:11:15,820
So depending on who nominates and who wants to participate,

880
01:11:16,280 --> 01:11:18,640
we're obviously, you've got like a small standalone,

881
01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:21,840
some rural jammed up, we'd like to call them.

882
01:11:22,300 --> 01:11:24,380
They might be competing against a chain

883
01:11:24,380 --> 01:11:26,320
that's got 10 restaurants.

884
01:11:26,820 --> 01:11:28,780
Well, separated into categories,

885
01:11:29,040 --> 01:11:30,860
so they're not all just competing against each other,

886
01:11:31,140 --> 01:11:36,800
but it's going to be fun to think and believe that.

887
01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:37,640
You know, I'm just...

888
01:11:37,640 --> 01:11:38,520
G.E.K.E.R.E.

889
01:11:38,720 --> 01:11:41,140
or just you better, later than they do.

890
01:11:42,140 --> 01:11:42,820
You know what I mean?

891
01:11:43,480 --> 01:11:43,960
You know what I mean?

892
01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:45,200
You don't need an ounce of alcohol.

893
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:45,660
Oh, no.

894
01:11:45,660 --> 01:11:47,360
I'm not worried about the gin that does it, too.

895
01:11:49,230 --> 01:11:50,810
Do you like a midnight hour or something?

896
01:11:50,830 --> 01:11:51,050
No.

897
01:11:51,470 --> 01:11:51,710
No.

898
01:11:51,910 --> 01:11:53,090
Oh, no.

899
01:11:53,090 --> 01:11:54,010
I do, she's dry.

900
01:11:54,490 --> 01:11:55,730
Too late, and she's better.

901
01:11:56,130 --> 01:11:56,470
Okay.

902
01:11:56,890 --> 01:11:57,150
Okay.

903
01:11:57,790 --> 01:11:59,470
So that's a quick update.

904
01:12:00,630 --> 01:12:05,060
Any questions about what we're doing here, sir?

905
01:12:05,560 --> 01:12:08,280
I just wanted to talk one of your news.

906
01:12:13,990 --> 01:12:20,050
I know you've done it before but it's part of the years don't think they are that they're trying to highlight some of it.

907
01:12:22,410 --> 01:12:24,210
Deeper price cuts, you know.

908
01:12:24,610 --> 01:12:29,910
Yeah, often people still eat beef, but it's still cheap.

909
01:12:30,090 --> 01:12:31,710
And then a lot of people don't know how to pronounce it.

910
01:12:32,390 --> 01:12:33,110
And it's still here.

911
01:12:42,670 --> 01:12:49,790
We've done like flat means, which is, you know, it's kind of a strict state, but it's even cheaper.

912
01:12:50,230 --> 01:12:52,690
We manage that because we put in top of something.

913
01:12:53,490 --> 01:12:58,890
So, as we move forward, especially as it's how they combine everything,

914
01:12:58,890 --> 01:13:02,550
the goal would be to try and highlight more economical

915
01:13:02,550 --> 01:13:07,630
lessons. So, rather than going, here's your state

916
01:13:07,630 --> 01:13:11,990
tenderloin dinner, you know, people are like, oh, look at this guy, he's out of touch, you can

917
01:13:11,990 --> 01:13:16,890
see him stay tenderloin. You know, you can see the water, but when we're talking to

918
01:13:16,890 --> 01:13:21,170
consumers with families that are trying to create easy recipes and feed their

919
01:13:25,130 --> 01:13:36,370
Yeah, we try to do that, so probably, and Jacob does, on a lot of his segments, does a good job of giving alternate,

920
01:13:38,250 --> 01:13:43,890
you know, we're demonstrating it with this, but you can use both up and down.

921
01:13:43,890 --> 01:13:45,870
I'm just getting around, and you drive a big truck.

922
01:13:45,870 --> 01:13:47,310
I've mentioned those in economic state.

923
01:13:47,410 --> 01:13:48,710
Here's a more economical choice.

924
01:13:48,870 --> 01:13:50,230
You can use marineries, this is dead,

925
01:13:50,590 --> 01:13:52,710
and you can use the same marineries in that type of thing.

926
01:13:53,050 --> 01:13:53,950
So, it does a good job.

927
01:13:54,070 --> 01:13:55,970
So, you need help with that.

928
01:13:56,430 --> 01:13:58,790
I'm sure we should use these ambassadors

929
01:13:58,790 --> 01:14:01,890
like if they need to be running flyers

930
01:14:01,890 --> 01:14:04,830
or visiting some of these summer.

931
01:14:05,330 --> 01:14:05,770
During the summer.

932
01:14:05,970 --> 01:14:06,650
Like the cheeseburger battle?

933
01:14:06,730 --> 01:14:08,850
Yeah, they're typically slower.

934
01:14:09,210 --> 01:14:10,890
So, they can help you.

935
01:14:10,910 --> 01:14:11,730
Well, even in your own area,

936
01:14:11,970 --> 01:14:13,190
I'm just going to say, hey, you're sorry.

937
01:14:13,190 --> 01:14:17,650
If you want to work on this, if you want to just go to the site and nominate yourself.

938
01:14:18,470 --> 01:14:23,750
And we'll have, there's a company that's called Woobox that actually keeps that you put

939
01:14:23,750 --> 01:14:28,230
on your site that will keep a tally for you, the other state to use so that we can have

940
01:14:28,230 --> 01:14:31,470
like my buildings and people can kind of see where they're at.

941
01:14:32,950 --> 01:14:38,750
There are things where it's, you can't have bots, you can't have, it's one vote per whatever

942
01:14:38,750 --> 01:14:39,310
each day.

943
01:14:39,310 --> 01:14:43,150
So you can't have like this restaurant that's got 50 people working from there. I'll just

944
01:14:43,150 --> 01:14:48,390
500 votes a day. So there's some things we're working through itself.

945
01:14:50,740 --> 01:14:54,840
Okay, anything else that complete your update?

946
01:14:55,920 --> 01:14:58,620
Next item is review of financial report.

947
01:15:00,300 --> 01:15:27,160
We should have a copy of the financial. This is year-to-date as of today. You can see there at the top and the account balances where we're at. The center is our budget in the categories and the right hand is where we're at. Staying pretty much within budget. The one that I would bring out that will jump off the table at you is the legal and accounting.

948
01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:33,880
We have gone past on our legal and accounting and the explanation there is if you go back and look at last year's

949
01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:36,360
financials

950
01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:42,020
Neither the auditor or the accountants got us their billings for last year

951
01:15:42,020 --> 01:15:46,800
And so we've got all of last year and this year rolled into there

952
01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:52,720
So we're going to blow over that budget this year just because we're picking up last year's payment

953
01:15:52,720 --> 01:15:55,520
We paid nothing last year and we're paying for it this year

954
01:15:57,160 --> 01:16:02,880
where we're at with with that. So that's the one that's most grossly out of place and that will

955
01:16:02,880 --> 01:16:07,760
actually even go up a little bit more than that because they're still more accounting that'll be

956
01:16:07,760 --> 01:16:16,440
done so but just so you're aware there why I tried to I tried to estimate up typically we've spent

957
01:16:17,600 --> 01:16:26,440
around $10,000 for legal and accounting type work I put it up a little bit it looks like we're

958
01:16:26,440 --> 01:16:34,100
going to get the $10,000 for the two years, both in this year and so it's within the parameters

959
01:16:34,100 --> 01:16:38,300
of where I'm at. It's just hard to explain without knowing that we're looking at two

960
01:16:38,300 --> 01:16:38,800
years budget.

961
01:16:42,500 --> 01:16:46,640
Going down through pretty much everything else is pretty close to online.

962
01:16:47,340 --> 01:16:52,640
We did go over, you know, we have a very small office supply budget of $4,500. We've gone

963
01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:57,480
over that. We ended up buying a computer that I wasn't anticipating buying this year to

964
01:16:57,480 --> 01:17:01,200
to get Jacob's computer up to operating levels there.

965
01:17:01,920 --> 01:17:04,860
So we did go a little bit over on our office supplies

966
01:17:04,860 --> 01:17:07,240
just because but that's a pretty small budget item.

967
01:17:07,820 --> 01:17:10,480
As you roll down through, you can see that

968
01:17:10,480 --> 01:17:13,340
we still have some budget left for promotion

969
01:17:13,340 --> 01:17:14,800
and that's where, you know,

970
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:16,760
cheeseburger promotion, summer grilling,

971
01:17:16,940 --> 01:17:20,140
summer promotions, we'll have some of those.

972
01:17:20,820 --> 01:17:21,580
I believe in air.

973
01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:24,500
Yes, and that was, my comment is

974
01:17:24,500 --> 01:17:26,280
everything's paid up at this point

975
01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:31,140
other than that beef ambassador. So if you can get me beef ambassador in, then we

976
01:17:31,140 --> 01:17:35,260
know what we've got exactly left for summer promotion stuff. So if you could

977
01:17:35,260 --> 01:17:36,760
get those to me, I'd appreciate it.

978
01:17:36,780 --> 01:17:42,480
Haley and I had a conversation. I was making sure it was okay before it got to you.

979
01:17:42,620 --> 01:17:47,720
Okay, so the funds are there. I'd like to get that paid out as soon as you can

980
01:17:47,720 --> 01:17:51,420
wrap those up. I know you just gave out some scholarships recently didn't

981
01:17:51,420 --> 01:17:51,960
and so.

982
01:17:55,100 --> 01:18:00,500
Okay well that will you know that would follow in that promotion

983
01:18:00,500 --> 01:18:04,680
category that's we've got some promotion budget still available but we

984
01:18:04,680 --> 01:18:07,660
typically do spend a pretty good chunk at the end of the year wrapping up

985
01:18:07,660 --> 01:18:10,880
things like that and some regirling and you'll have some cheeseburger

986
01:18:10,880 --> 01:18:21,400
expanses and few things there. You can see from our what we've paid to the

987
01:18:21,400 --> 01:18:25,080
And I think that is probably just due to the fact that it's a good market year and a

988
01:18:25,080 --> 01:18:25,460
stride.

989
01:18:25,640 --> 01:18:30,000
And people, if Cal wasn't paying her way, she's been cashed in.

990
01:18:31,100 --> 01:18:37,300
And so that has been good for our budget this year, maybe not good for our budget next

991
01:18:37,300 --> 01:18:37,480
year.

992
01:18:42,360 --> 01:18:44,760
Do you have any questions about where we're at?

993
01:18:44,980 --> 01:18:51,420
Do we've got, you know, where we're still, you know, $300,000 under budget.

994
01:18:52,380 --> 01:19:00,360
that's a quarter of the year. That fits in with, you know, if you look at that dollar amounts, it still fits in with what we've

995
01:19:00,360 --> 01:19:04,040
expanded and what we've got left to spend about on budget for where we're at.

996
01:19:11,220 --> 01:19:17,280
So actually that deal with Daryl, most of that is paid by national.

997
01:19:19,140 --> 01:19:25,300
There are some of the, what they will pay for the airline in the hotel and the meals at

998
01:19:25,300 --> 01:19:31,560
the meeting, but like if he had Uber rides and airport parking and that kind of stuff

999
01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:39,220
then we picked those up. But some of those meetings. And that's, if you look, we're way under

1000
01:19:39,220 --> 01:19:47,420
on travel this year. Typically I have to travel to a lot of national meetings because I served

1001
01:19:47,420 --> 01:19:53,320
as the federation chairman this last year. They picked up my travel on that. So, you know,

1002
01:19:53,360 --> 01:20:00,200
we had $12,000 budget and we've only spent $1,500, mostly because National picked up a lot

1003
01:20:00,200 --> 01:20:05,820
of that. Now my term is done. So now that travel is going to kick back in. That is over.

1004
01:20:06,320 --> 01:20:10,240
But that's why you're saying that if we're way under budget on my travel, I budgeted my

1005
01:20:10,240 --> 01:20:13,840
typical travel budget in, but national picked up a lot of my travel.

1006
01:20:15,100 --> 01:20:22,200
Well, there are people who stop talking about the extrinsic end of the river as well as

1007
01:20:22,200 --> 01:20:27,780
educational and to really see what's really happening and that helps I've heard from my name,

1008
01:20:28,800 --> 01:20:34,800
plays, I feel like so to speak, but all the things are all the pieces that are coming together

1009
01:20:34,800 --> 01:20:41,700
to promote the beef and protect the beef and their industry and they're able to say enough about

1010
01:20:41,700 --> 01:20:47,440
that so I used to get away with it. The pieces of who wished everybody could go to that and everybody

1011
01:20:50,720 --> 01:20:52,680
What's the cabinet's beef board?

1012
01:20:53,060 --> 01:21:00,520
So that is on the national checkoff, the dollar that's collected 50 cents of that goes

1013
01:21:00,520 --> 01:21:01,740
to the beef board automatically.

1014
01:21:02,040 --> 01:21:05,740
We collect it and it comes into our budget, but then I have to forward it.

1015
01:21:06,020 --> 01:21:11,080
So every month, Matt sends me the report of the collections and where they're at.

1016
01:21:11,460 --> 01:21:16,580
The first thing I do is if there is collections from another state, if we have collected

1017
01:21:16,580 --> 01:21:24,180
say for example if some cattle came into the seeder auction from Nevada and we

1018
01:21:24,180 --> 01:21:26,900
collected them here if they didn't collect they should have been collected

1019
01:21:26,900 --> 01:21:31,340
before they come across but occasionally they don't so if there was cattle

1020
01:21:31,340 --> 01:21:35,880
that come across first thing I do is I go in and pull out all of those point of

1021
01:21:35,880 --> 01:21:42,520
what we call point of origin cattle and pay that back to the states so you know

1022
01:21:42,520 --> 01:21:48,980
every month, they send a check to Montana because we have Cadillac come into Montana from to the

1023
01:21:48,980 --> 01:21:54,540
kill plant from Montana quite frequently we send back to Nebraska that come in but occasionally

1024
01:21:54,540 --> 01:21:59,260
we'll have Cadill come in without a brand inspection investigator and they collect or whatever

1025
01:21:59,920 --> 01:22:05,740
and so I have to send those back. Then of the dollars that is left after I take the state point of

1026
01:22:05,740 --> 01:22:11,820
Now we get to keep 50 cents national gets 50 cents and so that's where that's where that is so

1027
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:17,640
That's why there's and that that point of origin is what I'm saying that's right above it

1028
01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:25,580
That is those cattle that came into the state and that's a hard one for me to budget because some years

1029
01:22:26,620 --> 01:22:27,540
some years

1030
01:22:30,120 --> 01:22:36,180
JBS will bring cattle from different places like the cattle that come in from Canada

1031
01:22:36,180 --> 01:22:40,220
know, we don't have to send that back because they're not a state. So we actually get to keep

1032
01:22:40,740 --> 01:22:46,180
that point of origin. But if they come in from Nebraska, I have to send it back to Nebraska.

1033
01:22:46,660 --> 01:22:51,800
So for our budget, it's better that we bring Canadian cattle in because we get to keep that the

1034
01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:58,020
Nebraska, I have to send back to them because they're a state to receive that. And so those dollar

1035
01:22:58,020 --> 01:23:04,340
values, even though the beef board one is going to blow us over budget, that's a good thing because

1036
01:23:04,340 --> 01:23:09,400
that meant that we collected more dollars. And so if I if I blow that budget out of proportion,

1037
01:23:09,400 --> 01:23:13,960
it's because yeah, I spent more to the beef board because we collected more than we anticipated

1038
01:23:13,960 --> 01:23:22,900
than we budgeted on that for the year. I had a question on that. I know we've done about years.

1039
01:23:23,060 --> 01:23:28,680
I've always been able to go, but it was infeasible to get a cashier person to go there and

1040
01:23:45,040 --> 01:23:57,300
I think all of our seated board members have been there now I think we've got he's not

1041
01:23:57,300 --> 01:24:01,180
not a big council member, so he's here on the board.

1042
01:24:04,840 --> 01:24:07,500
Do we need to be taken?

1043
01:24:07,740 --> 01:24:09,740
I mean, I just need...

1044
01:24:10,300 --> 01:24:14,420
It's just approval that you review the financial report.

1045
01:24:14,820 --> 01:24:21,280
So, I have motion to approve the financials that have been presented.

1046
01:24:28,200 --> 01:24:37,920
Okay, the next item is action on authorization requests and I don't have any authorization requests. I always just put it on just in case

1047
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:54,860
So I put it on the agenda in case we have to.

1048
01:24:57,780 --> 01:25:04,340
So yeah, we do want to get those in place because I will be setting the next meeting we

1049
01:25:04,340 --> 01:25:05,700
have will be our budget meeting.

1050
01:25:06,560 --> 01:25:13,860
And so, if I can get your next year's, so I need to get this year's reimbursements and

1051
01:25:13,860 --> 01:25:18,000
next year's requests and so that we can get budgeting on this.

1052
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:28,680
go that way. I did have and I will deposit it into your account. The Utah County Farm Bureau

1053
01:25:29,500 --> 01:25:37,440
sent us $125 as a thank you gift to the beef ambassadors for coming in helping with

1054
01:25:43,600 --> 01:26:07,240
So we need to have a discussion that really shouldn't channel through the Beef Council, but I'm going to go ahead and deposit it, and I went ahead and deposit it because the check was made out to the Beef Council, but we'll talk to them next year, and so I'm just going to roll that through, but it was $125 that they just gave to the Beef Ambassador for thanking them for participating and helping out with that.

1055
01:26:07,240 --> 01:26:13,420
But if we remind you that any of you talked about it, you have that check made out differently

1056
01:26:13,420 --> 01:26:14,140
in this channel.

1057
01:26:17,620 --> 01:26:18,260
Okay.

1058
01:26:18,680 --> 01:26:25,280
Upcoming industry meetings, yes, summer conventions.

1059
01:26:25,560 --> 01:26:32,740
So we've got, yeah, we've got, on the policy side, these guys will be going to Washington.

1060
01:26:32,740 --> 01:26:36,860
We'll discuss that after lunch with the Cattleman's group there.

1061
01:26:36,860 --> 01:26:50,070
where we have the NCBA cattle industry summer business meeting will be in Denver this year,

1062
01:26:51,070 --> 01:27:00,170
the, what, 14, 15 somewhere right there, I think, if I remember right, and again, reimbursement

1063
01:27:00,170 --> 01:27:06,030
policy on that is anybody that's a beef council board member, if you're going into attending

1064
01:27:06,030 --> 01:27:12,390
meeting, beef council meetings or check-off meetings will reimburse up to $1,200 again with

1065
01:27:12,390 --> 01:27:13,430
on that travel.

1066
01:27:14,030 --> 01:27:15,270
I didn't have it on my calendar.

1067
01:27:15,930 --> 01:27:17,150
I don't have it on my calendar.

1068
01:27:17,230 --> 01:27:18,790
No, I don't have it right on that book.

1069
01:27:28,440 --> 01:27:29,630
12 through the 14th.

1070
01:27:30,220 --> 01:27:30,840
That's what I've got.

1071
01:27:31,320 --> 01:27:34,340
And the actual meetings, I think, are the 13th and 14th.

1072
01:27:34,960 --> 01:27:38,960
So we've actually had a little discussion and this is interesting.

1073
01:27:41,560 --> 01:27:43,520
One of my counter parts.

1074
01:27:43,520 --> 01:27:49,660
us. They brought up that they were holding the meetings. They set the meetings for like Monday

1075
01:27:49,660 --> 01:27:54,920
and Tuesday and then they started stacking meetings on Sunday night, Sunday afternoon and

1076
01:27:54,920 --> 01:27:59,700
he said, aren't we a Christian or are we a God-loving people? Why are we always starting

1077
01:27:59,700 --> 01:28:05,760
to have meetings all day Sunday? And I see at the last meeting that pushed some of the Sunday

1078
01:28:05,760 --> 01:28:18,440
meetings back to Monday. So, and I do know that when George Long was the

1079
01:28:18,440 --> 01:28:22,660
national president, he made a real issue out of it. When he was president, he

1080
01:28:23,260 --> 01:28:29,160
made them change agendas. He said, I'm a Godfaring president and if I want to

1081
01:28:29,160 --> 01:28:33,200
sit here and pray and ask for his blessings, I better not hold meetings on his

1082
01:28:36,280 --> 01:28:40,740
So when I say that it's Sunday Monday Tuesday, I don't know, I think there's going to be a couple

1083
01:28:40,740 --> 01:28:47,080
meetings Sunday night, but most of it is Monday Tuesday, so that will be in Denver, well, kind

1084
01:28:47,080 --> 01:28:47,640
of in Denver.

1085
01:28:48,160 --> 01:28:55,380
It will be Denver area, it's out at the Gaylord, it's kind of like out in the middle of nowhere

1086
01:28:55,380 --> 01:28:56,580
like the airport.

1087
01:29:01,230 --> 01:29:06,790
I think that was the only industry meeting that relates to the council.

1088
01:29:07,330 --> 01:29:12,170
All right, the next thing is the port of the facility.

1089
01:29:13,950 --> 01:29:19,250
Yeah, so I just texted Jeremy who was the CEO.

1090
01:29:19,490 --> 01:29:21,550
He said we're just wrapping up.

1091
01:29:21,790 --> 01:29:24,230
So do we want to choose a date for the next port meeting?

1092
01:29:24,330 --> 01:29:25,950
Yeah, let's work on the date.

1093
01:29:25,950 --> 01:29:31,130
Well, we can adjourn and then I can shut that recording off of you.

1094
01:29:31,410 --> 01:29:36,410
One thing before we adjourn, and I know this idea has been thrown out in the past, but

1095
01:29:36,410 --> 01:29:41,370
we want to relook at it, is trying to create a Utah Ag Expo.

1096
01:29:43,030 --> 01:29:51,750
We're thinking of not next legislative season, but maybe the one after is with our goal, and

1097
01:29:51,750 --> 01:29:57,810
having a three day expo probably downtown somewhere where we're asking

1098
01:29:57,810 --> 01:29:59,970
you know, maybe wall growers or...

1099
01:30:04,140 --> 01:30:29,860
We all go to about 20 different conferences every year, and I'm just trying to combine it and do something special, and a big one. And, you know, we probably have 10 or 15 internal that we do, you know, our soil health, things like that, that we'd like to do all at one time. And it's easier for us to get good speakers. We could get the governor, we could get legislators to come.

1100
01:30:30,900 --> 01:30:37,520
It may be in Congress, even Secretary Rollins, that's our goal, but something to think

1101
01:30:37,520 --> 01:30:46,520
about in a couple of years of doing a Utah Ag Expo, and how it would work, you know,

1102
01:30:46,560 --> 01:30:51,860
Derryman could have there there, but we would do like three days and give everyone plenty

1103
01:30:51,860 --> 01:30:58,880
of time to do their own business if they have their own business, but it just seems like

1104
01:30:58,880 --> 01:31:03,320
that we all get wore out by going to what many different conferences throughout the year.

1105
01:31:05,660 --> 01:31:16,120
We're thinking during the legislative season, two years, some time, but I know Farm Bureau

1106
01:31:16,120 --> 01:31:22,200
tried to do it with their fusion conference a few years ago, but this wouldn't be the

1107
01:31:22,200 --> 01:31:25,720
goal of offsetting like our annual meetings and that kind of stuff.

1108
01:31:26,260 --> 01:31:29,840
That would be up to you guys if you wanted to put it into that.

1109
01:31:29,840 --> 01:31:34,660
Like I said, we would give you plenty of time to do, but Farm Bureau could never do their policy meeting.

1110
01:31:35,020 --> 01:31:37,080
Right, see that's where we ran into it.

1111
01:31:37,120 --> 01:31:37,240
Yeah.

1112
01:31:37,340 --> 01:31:41,920
And now that was back when they were doing the fusion thing, they said, oh, we ought to try to do these.

1113
01:31:42,200 --> 01:31:42,360
Yeah.

1114
01:31:42,460 --> 01:31:44,660
It doesn't fit timing-wise.

1115
01:31:44,900 --> 01:31:45,060
Right.

1116
01:31:46,900 --> 01:31:50,980
And I will tell you, it creates, from the cattleman's perspective, a little challenge,

1117
01:31:51,140 --> 01:31:55,500
because to pay for our convention, we need the revenue of that trade show.

1118
01:31:55,500 --> 01:32:03,280
Yeah, and if you water that down across too many people and whatever that way so a separate

1119
01:32:03,280 --> 01:32:09,500
ad gex boat that you know I don't I think would be great but I don't think we want to target it being the

1120
01:32:09,500 --> 01:32:15,960
Offset of like our annual conventions that kind of thing. Yeah, so we're just throwing that idea out there.

1121
01:32:17,320 --> 01:32:23,260
Okay, let's look at dates for our next board meeting. I'm proposing sometime late June

1122
01:32:24,600 --> 01:32:37,280
because that's the end of our fiscal year and we need to have a budget approved for the next year or

1123
01:32:41,050 --> 01:32:45,870
a bit of that, once that or a few in the next couple of seconds.

1124
01:32:46,150 --> 01:32:52,430
Probably in the week of the 22nd would be, let's see, when do we have it?

1125
01:32:58,060 --> 01:33:03,860
It's hard for Jacob and I to put on a convention and budget meetings and that kind of stuff all together.

1126
01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:11,320
If it wasn't the budget meeting, you could probably pull it off, but let's see what days that meeting is.

1127
01:33:11,480 --> 01:33:13,440
17th and 18th.

1128
01:33:13,440 --> 01:33:17,280
Yeah, but it's like so much.

1129
01:33:21,920 --> 01:33:23,500
You are a keynote speaker.

1130
01:33:27,560 --> 01:33:28,960
It's good, that's why I do it again.

1131
01:33:29,300 --> 01:33:30,480
It's going to be the best day of the day.

1132
01:33:30,540 --> 01:33:32,740
We are on video, have a lot of the energy.

1133
01:33:32,980 --> 01:33:35,520
Even now, I'm getting used to it.

1134
01:33:36,200 --> 01:33:37,140
Can people those days aren't?

1135
01:33:37,200 --> 01:33:38,140
The best days are not.

1136
01:33:40,200 --> 01:33:52,460
That week of the 22nd through the 26th with some remaining 17-18 that would kind of prefer later in that week, so I have to.

1137
01:33:52,460 --> 01:33:52,800
Okay.

1138
01:33:53,380 --> 01:33:54,460
All right.

1139
01:33:56,220 --> 01:33:56,520
All right.

1140
01:33:58,470 --> 01:33:59,410
All right.

1141
01:33:59,410 --> 01:33:59,450
26.

1142
01:34:00,310 --> 01:34:01,010
What's your name?

1143
01:34:01,290 --> 01:34:01,830
June 26.

1144
01:34:01,830 --> 01:34:02,130
June 26.

1145
01:34:02,590 --> 01:34:08,330
That Friday is there anybody that would be opposed to putting that as a

1146
01:34:11,370 --> 01:34:12,890
Friday's work?

1147
01:34:12,890 --> 01:34:13,310
Okay.

1148
01:34:13,710 --> 01:34:14,510
That's about it.

1149
01:34:14,510 --> 01:34:15,190
June 26.

1150
01:34:16,180 --> 01:34:16,490
Okay.

1151
01:34:17,180 --> 01:34:18,830
Let's shoot for June 26.

1152
01:34:19,490 --> 01:34:24,050
That's our next quarterly meeting and that will be our annual budgeting meeting.

1153
01:34:24,790 --> 01:34:29,570
Which, that puts it close enough to the end of the fiscal year that I'll have a pretty good idea for a

1154
01:34:31,630 --> 01:34:34,430
You'll find a dollar and a dollar amount to be

1155
01:34:36,940 --> 01:34:41,880
So with that we can entertain a

1156
01:34:42,520 --> 01:34:43,860
Motion to adjourn

1157
01:34:44,740 --> 01:34:46,860
Motion to adjourn

1158
01:34:48,060 --> 01:34:48,460
A motion

1159
01:34:49,120 --> 01:34:49,640
Second

1160
01:34:50,560 --> 01:34:51,520
Favorite ride?

1161
01:34:51,880 --> 01:34:52,180
I don't know
