1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:05,200
Coming up, one of the things that we're

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:07,120
doing is passing legislation that allows

3
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:09,599
that to happen in Congress. So, if we

4
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:12,559
can get that, we're looking at some ways

5
00:00:09,599 --> 00:00:14,559
for new and young farmers to enter the

6
00:00:12,559 --> 00:00:17,440
business. You have an opportunity today

7
00:00:14,559 --> 00:00:19,600
to use this LRP product to lock in those

8
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,039
prices for next year's calf crop.

9
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,119
That's right around the corner on the

10
00:00:21,039 --> 00:00:26,240

Barry Cooper and family for allowing us

00:00:55,199 --> 00:01:00,320
venue for us here at Live Aag. Um, with

28
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,960
So, we have the fill in here, Wade

29
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:07,040
Elish, if let me make sure I say it

30
00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:10,640
right. And, uh, with us also, we have

31
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:12,159
Eric Smith out of, uh, Alabama. So, um,

32
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,479
we're going to kind of talk here today

33
00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:15,920
about some common ground issues with,

34
00:01:14,479 --> 00:01:17,360
uh, several different organizations that

35
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,840
come together. LMA brought several

36
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:22,479
different organizations together to to

37
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:24,479
go over and to to become united on

38
00:01:22,479 --> 00:01:26,320
several different fronts. But first,

39
00:01:24,479 --> 00:01:27,680
kind of give it background on how you

40
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:29,040
two know each other. I mean, kind of

41
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,759
where where y'all met and how y'all met

42
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,079
and all that.

43
00:01:29,759 --> 00:01:35,040
Yeah, when I uh was traveling around for

44
00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:37,600
the World Championship for for the LMA,

45
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,600
uh the guys at Elite, Jerry Ethridge and

46
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,040
Daryl Stokes and them, they they were

47
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,400
they needed an auctioneer for one

48
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,079
special sale. So, I went down. I ended

49
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,799
up making a a tour all the way through

50
00:01:44,079 --> 00:01:49,520
Alabama and got to meet Eric there. We

51
00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:50,799
had a nice dinner there and uh I was

52
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,240
supposed to stay at a hotel that ended

53
00:01:50,799 --> 00:01:54,399
up getting cancelled. We had there was a

54
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,720
hurricane come through just about that

55
00:01:54,399 --> 00:01:58,640
time

56
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:59,680
and and all the rooms were needed for

57
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,840
rescue people.

58
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,600
Yeah. Yeah. They were coming down to uh

59
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,799
reset the power, I think, or or getting

60
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,640
prepared for it. Maybe that's what it

61
00:02:04,799 --> 00:02:08,640
was. They were staging. So, I got kicked

62
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,239
out of my room and uh couldn't have

63
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:12,400
worked out any better. here. I was kind

64
00:02:10,239 --> 00:02:14,319
of kind of upset about the deal and Eric

65
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,360
said, "Well, I'm it's where you you

66
00:02:14,319 --> 00:02:17,440
background some cattle."

67
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,920
That's right. One of my backgrounders

68
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,120
and uh his bunk house, which is really

69
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:22,480
pretty elaborate.

70
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,160
I should say it's not a normal bunk

71
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,760
house. I've seen it.

72
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,040
Yeah, we was out there the mic and

73
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,720
stayed in the other day. So,

74
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,920
okay. Pretty pretty good selection of

75
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,319
bourbon in there, too, if I remember

76
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:33,440
right.

77
00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:34,800
I can't remember.

78
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,239
But we had a we had a good time down

79
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,800
there. I really enjoyed my time in

80
00:02:36,239 --> 00:02:40,640
Alabama. uh got to got to hang out with

81
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,400
these guys at Elite and that's when they

82
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:44,160
were they were having their independent

83
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:47,360
sales and they they did a tremendous job

84
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,879
and that's why when I heard that we were

85
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,239
we were all going to merge I I was

86
00:02:48,879 --> 00:02:51,519
pretty excited about that because I know

87
00:02:50,239 --> 00:02:53,040
I knew that a bangup job.

88
00:02:51,519 --> 00:02:54,879
Yeah, they they it's been an awesome

89
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,840
addition to live a that that group down

90
00:02:54,879 --> 00:02:59,280
there. They they do a tremendous job. So

91
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,840
Eric, let's kind of get into a little

92
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,360
bit of what what is Common Ground?

93
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,760
What's the Common Ground Summit? What

94
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,440
what what does it entail? um what are

95
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,200
the key issues that y'all are working

96
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,680
on? Let's kind of get into some depth of

97
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,480
that.

98
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:14,239
Before we get there, let me follow up on

99
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,480
what you just said. I mean, it's been a

100
00:03:14,239 --> 00:03:20,239
a great partnership for Elite to come

101
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:21,760
together with live a uh we've grown our

102
00:03:20,239 --> 00:03:24,159
elite

103
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:26,400
footprint that in ways we couldn't have

104
00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:28,800
done without coming together. So, just

105
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:31,120
let you know, we appreciate that the

106
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:33,120
customers out there in the country, you

107
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,879
know, it's a better way to serve them

108
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,959
and it's a better way to be together. So

109
00:03:34,879 --> 00:03:39,440
it's pro progress.

110
00:03:36,959 --> 00:03:42,879
Uh common ground summit was something

111
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:45,519
that was several years in the making. It

112
00:03:42,879 --> 00:03:48,959
started out maybe four or five years ago

113
00:03:45,519 --> 00:03:51,120
with quite a few of the livestock groups

114
00:03:48,959 --> 00:03:55,760
coming together to try to find some way

115
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:57,840
to keep producers in agriculture. And

116
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:00,080
that simmered along for quite a little

117
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:03,680
while and nothing ever moved off the

118
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:06,959
center. And so I'm going to give a lot

119
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:09,120
of props to LMA for this. They they saw

120
00:04:06,959 --> 00:04:10,959
that it was a need. They they just

121
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,560
decided after a while that they were

122
00:04:10,959 --> 00:04:15,599
willing to just take it up and go on

123
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:18,000
their own. And we've been fortunate that

124
00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:20,479
it's been accepted across the country.

125
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,960
These are not problems that are brand

126
00:04:20,479 --> 00:04:26,960
new. Agriculture's always been a low

127
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:30,080
margin business. Uh in the past it was

128
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,840
so simple that when operations changed

129
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,360
they stayed in agriculture. It might

130
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:35,840
have been a different person. It might

131
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:39,199
have been a family expanded.

132
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:43,040
Uh young people stayed on the place and

133
00:04:39,199 --> 00:04:45,199
the ranch just grew. Today is not that

134
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:48,880
way because all of a sudden people have

135
00:04:45,199 --> 00:04:51,280
valued property and they have valued

136
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:54,400
coming in and when there's land

137
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:57,600
available other entities take it either

138
00:04:54,400 --> 00:05:00,320
recreation we've seen development uh

139
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:03,280
it's probably not as big a deal today is

140
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:05,919
still a deal but solar these alternative

141
00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:10,320
energies are a little probably not as

142
00:05:05,919 --> 00:05:13,360
strong as they were six months ago.

143
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:16,560
We've evolved this organization into a

144
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:19,520
name now that's called u

145
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:23,759
common grounds just common grounds. So

146
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:25,680
the summit part is beyond us. Um yeah

147
00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:27,520
well I think sorry I think what the LMA

148
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,440
did was they looked at these multiple

149
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,919
organizations and said you know they

150
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,840
don't agree on a whole lot of things. Uh

151
00:05:31,919 --> 00:05:35,919
in the end though they all we all want

152
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:37,600
the same thing regardless. Yeah.

153
00:05:35,919 --> 00:05:39,520
Regardless of the organization we all

154
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,680
want the same thing in the end. And

155
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:44,160
along the way, there are a few things

156
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,680
that everybody agrees on. Sure. And and

157
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,919
can agree on? And I think that's where

158
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:50,080
the root of this came from was to say,

159
00:05:47,919 --> 00:05:52,800
can we at least find four or five things

160
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:55,680
that we all agree on? And if those four

161
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,680
or five things are productive in saving

162
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,919
agriculture and keeping people in

163
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:02,479
agriculture, keeping farmers uh in

164
00:05:59,919 --> 00:06:04,880
agriculture and producers, then why not

165
00:06:02,479 --> 00:06:06,880
why not stand on those? the the best

166
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,880
part I I I got out of the deal, what I

167
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,960
thought was so great was when they did

168
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:13,360
have the the the initial meeting and and

169
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,880
the follow-up meetings when those

170
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,039
different organizations come in the

171
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:21,039
room, you leave your policies at the

172
00:06:17,039 --> 00:06:23,759
door. No matter if it's LMA or or Tupper

173
00:06:21,039 --> 00:06:25,680
and that group or whoever's coming, the

174
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:26,800
policies, your policy, your organization

175
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,840
policies stay at the door. We're going

176
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,400
to come in here, we're going to talk

177
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:31,840
about four or five key issues. We're all

178
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,120
going to get aligned. We're all going to

179
00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:34,720
get behind it. and then you're going to

180
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,080
go to your own organizations and we're

181
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,080
going to attack it that way. I think

182
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,759
it's a great idea. It's it's

183
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:43,039
one of the things we want to make clear

184
00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:45,120
is this is not an LMA

185
00:06:43,039 --> 00:06:48,400
organization. This is not an LMA. This

186
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:51,600
is a producer push. This is who is, you

187
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:53,360
know, driving this. LMA is the vehicle,

188
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,199
but the producers are actually running

189
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,919
this thing. And so it's a huge

190
00:06:55,199 --> 00:07:01,680
cross-section across the country. Wade

191
00:06:57,919 --> 00:07:04,319
and I are from a north and south

192
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:06,800
geographical position. As far away from

193
00:07:04,319 --> 00:07:08,639
each other as you can possibly be with

194
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:11,599
the same problems and the same interest

195
00:07:08,639 --> 00:07:15,039
and the same solutions that we got to

196
00:07:11,599 --> 00:07:17,360
come up with as if we were neighbors. H

197
00:07:15,039 --> 00:07:19,199
how do you how do you go about learning

198
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,880
more about it? Where do you go to to

199
00:07:19,199 --> 00:07:22,720
learn? Where do you go to sign the

200
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,080
petition? Because that's a big thing

201
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,319
that they're trying to get a lot of

202
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,360
names on the petition petition. Where do

203
00:07:26,319 --> 00:07:30,080
you where do you do that at?

204
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:32,319
The signup is really growing. Uh there's

205
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:34,800
every time we have a meeting across the

206
00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:37,759
country, Common Ground has someone there

207
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:40,880
as a representative and for the sign up

208
00:07:37,759 --> 00:07:44,400
and for the information outreach and out

209
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:47,120
push uh you go to the website Common

210
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:49,520
Ground Coalition. It's uh out there

211
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:52,720
right now. So if you'll just go to that,

212
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:54,960
we don't need your information. We don't

213
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:57,120
need your affiliation. We don't need

214
00:07:54,960 --> 00:08:00,080
anything other than your signature that

215
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:02,080
says I support agriculture and the

216
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,520
continuation of agriculture.

217
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,199
Thinking about buying cattle or

218
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,720
expanding your herd? You need a

219
00:08:05,199 --> 00:08:09,039
financial partner who understands the

220
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,960
cattle business. A Texas Farm Credit

221
00:08:09,039 --> 00:08:13,360
offers flexible loans for pasture,

222
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:15,280
rangeand, and operating expenses. Their

223
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,120
local lenders understand agriculture

224
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,960
because they live it, too. As a

225
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:21,120
cooperative, their borrowers share in

226
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,479
the success through patronage dividends.

227
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,960
Whether you're buying your first set of

228
00:08:22,479 --> 00:08:26,960
cattle or growing a legacy operation, a

229
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:29,599
Texas is your partner every step of the

230
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:32,240
way. Visit a Texas.com to learn more and

231
00:08:29,599 --> 00:08:36,159
get started today. That's the big thing

232
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:38,959
is join us. Show the a unity. And that

233
00:08:36,159 --> 00:08:40,959
unity then we've got to have some

234
00:08:38,959 --> 00:08:43,200
government help. We've got to have some

235
00:08:40,959 --> 00:08:45,680
people in Congress that are willing to

236
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:48,160
say we're going to stand beside you and

237
00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:50,480
make the business climate

238
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,920
uh an opportunity to be successful.

239
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,880
You're still gonna have to work at it.

240
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,200
You're still going to have to be

241
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:57,040
productive. But if the business climate

242
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,760
can support us, then I think we've got a

243
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:01,519
a real chance to continue on.

244
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,480
Yeah. This isn't asking for government

245
00:09:01,519 --> 00:09:03,279
handouts by any

246
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:07,040
Oh, absolutely not.

247
00:09:03,279 --> 00:09:08,320
Yeah. They u So talk about some of those

248
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,160
common things that all these

249
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,760
organizations have had. I I think there

250
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:14,240
was four or five. We talked to Cali

251
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:16,880
about it in Boise. uh she came from LMA,

252
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:19,519
but what are a few of these really

253
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,399
common uh denominators amongst all these

254
00:09:19,519 --> 00:09:23,839
organizations?

255
00:09:20,399 --> 00:09:25,519
I I'm a prime example of what this

256
00:09:23,839 --> 00:09:28,160
organization and the common ground

257
00:09:25,519 --> 00:09:30,080
should be. My wife and I started and

258
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:33,040
have grown from a small outfit to a

259
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:36,080
pretty big operation. Uh we run a lot of

260
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:39,040
yearlings, cover a lot of ground. I've

261
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:42,080
got three sons. All of those are ranch

262
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:44,240
raised, super good young men. None of

263
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:46,160
them are going to be back on the ranch.

264
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,680
They might own ranches. They might

265
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:50,080
manage ranches, but they're not going to

266
00:09:47,680 --> 00:09:53,200
come back because they've got outside

267
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:57,040
interest in other jobs. My dream is not

268
00:09:53,200 --> 00:10:00,000
their dream. And so what we've got to do

269
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:02,720
in my own particular operation is find

270
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:06,000
some way to continue

271
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:08,240
cattle on my ground with another person

272
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,480
who does want to do that. And so we've

273
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:13,279
got to have some way for those people to

274
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:16,079
buy in. The thing we can't do is

275
00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:18,800
penalize the retiring farmer by saying,

276
00:10:16,079 --> 00:10:19,760
"Oh, we want you to keep it in a but

277
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,360
you're going to have to do it at a

278
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,839
discount."

279
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:26,399
All of our lives we've acquired and made

280
00:10:23,839 --> 00:10:29,839
land payments and struggled and made,

281
00:10:26,399 --> 00:10:31,839
you know, farm loans, bank loans.

282
00:10:29,839 --> 00:10:33,680
We've got to be able to reap that reward

283
00:10:31,839 --> 00:10:35,920
here at the end. And one of the things

284
00:10:33,680 --> 00:10:38,079
that we're doing is passing legislation

285
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:40,399
that allows that to happen in Congress.

286
00:10:38,079 --> 00:10:42,320
So if we can get that, everybody wants

287
00:10:40,399 --> 00:10:44,640
to talk about the estate tax, but really

288
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:47,440
the estate tax is just when you're dead.

289
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:50,320
We need retirement mechanisms. And so

290
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:52,720
that's one end of it. On the other end,

291
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:55,040
we're looking at some ways for new and

292
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:57,360
young farmers to enter the business,

293
00:10:55,040 --> 00:11:01,519
which is so difficult because of the

294
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:03,519
cost of involved today. So we had an

295
00:11:01,519 --> 00:11:07,279
idea one time. is not going to maybe go

296
00:11:03,519 --> 00:11:10,560
anywhere. But if we could we could

297
00:11:07,279 --> 00:11:12,880
classify livestock production like a

298
00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:15,600
municipality is,

299
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:17,920
municipalities borrow money from

300
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:20,640
financial institutions at quite a lower

301
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:22,959
rate. And so if we could be classified

302
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,800
as that same thing, perhaps our interest

303
00:11:22,959 --> 00:11:26,320
rates could be down two or three points

304
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,320
from where they were, which would make a

305
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:30,320
huge difference

306
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:32,640
uh in getting into the industry. So

307
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,000
those are each end of the spectrum and

308
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,680
there's a good bit in the middle.

309
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,040
When it comes to moving your livestock,

310
00:11:35,680 --> 00:11:38,720
you need more than just a truck and

311
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,720
trailer. You need drivers who understand

312
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:43,200
that your animals are your livelihood.

313
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:45,200

326
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,959
Well, there's two things I I want to

327
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,399
talk about. Um, I'll get to the second

328
00:12:12,959 --> 00:12:15,839
one. The first thing, all I heard on

329
00:12:14,399 --> 00:12:17,839
that was that he's taking applications

330
00:12:15,839 --> 00:12:19,440
for grandkids to take over for him.

331
00:12:17,839 --> 00:12:21,519
I was thinking that he was looking for

332
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,440
somebody putting the wheel and I was

333
00:12:21,519 --> 00:12:26,000
going to put my hand in the

334
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,120
I saw your hand kind of fleeing there.

335
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,959
There's going to we're going to have

336
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,160
people signing up for uh common ground.

337
00:12:28,959 --> 00:12:32,160
We're going to have people calling you

338
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,360
and and and asking how they can uh be

339
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,120
your apprentice. Yeah.

340
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,200
Uh the other thing you you deal a lot

341
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:39,200
with this uh LRP, livestock risk

342
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,040
protection, and I know that that is one

343
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,959
of the topics that they're talking about

344
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,079
with the common ground. Can you get into

345
00:12:42,959 --> 00:12:47,200
to that a little bit? Some of the

346
00:12:44,079 --> 00:12:50,240
benefits that you see uh long-term in

347
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:52,880
viability of of producers.

348
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:55,600
It's just a business. And if you're

349
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:59,279
looking at it any other way than this is

350
00:12:55,600 --> 00:13:02,160
your business, then you're mistaken. Uh

351
00:12:59,279 --> 00:13:03,680
we're in a competitive world today and

352
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:06,000
there's opportunities out there and

353
00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:08,160
there are tools out there. LRP is one of

354
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:10,000
those tools. It's one of the few

355
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,079
programs that's been established that's

356
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:15,440
actually gotten better is it's got a

357
00:13:12,079 --> 00:13:17,760
little age and maturity to it. uh

358
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,600
there's an opportunity to have some

359
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:22,320
input about other things that you would

360
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:25,360
like to see the program grow at.

361
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:27,200
I encourage people every day to evaluate

362
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:30,320
their operation and see if it has a

363
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:32,880
place for them. So right now we've got

364
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,320
the most phenomenal cattle prices in

365
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,240
the, you know, in the history of the

366
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:39,040
cattle industry.

367
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:41,680
And you have an opportunity today to use

368
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:44,079
this LRP product to lock in those prices

369
00:13:41,680 --> 00:13:45,839
for next year's calf crop. And there's

370
00:13:44,079 --> 00:13:48,079
no reason for you not to look at that

371
00:13:45,839 --> 00:13:51,120
and take that into consideration.

372
00:13:48,079 --> 00:13:53,680
There's a variety of options into there

373
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:56,720
and you can fine-tune that program to

374
00:13:53,680 --> 00:13:58,480
anything that works for you.

375
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:01,040
I'm in the yearland business so it

376
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:04,240
absolutely works for me. I can't afford

377
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:05,920
to have a market pullback and not cover

378
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,839
the calves that I'm we're buying every

379
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:10,560
day. We know we're going to get a great

380
00:14:07,839 --> 00:14:13,760
deal with live a on our sales. On the

381
00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:15,760
other hand, you can't, you know, you

382
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,760
can't

383
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:20,399
uh foretell the future and see those

384
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:22,399
unexpected glitches. Fundamentally, the

385
00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:24,079
cattle market is

386
00:14:22,399 --> 00:14:25,440
the most incredible it could be.

387
00:14:24,079 --> 00:14:27,199
We can sell them high, but we can only

388
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,399
sell them within today's market.

389
00:14:27,199 --> 00:14:30,079
Oh, you're you're going to bring at the

390
00:14:28,399 --> 00:14:30,639
top of the market for what the market

391
00:14:30,079 --> 00:14:32,079
is,

392
00:14:30,639 --> 00:14:34,240
right? And what you're saying is if that

393
00:14:32,079 --> 00:14:36,240
market isn't where you projected it to

394
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,800
be, you can lock in a profit with your

395
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,240
LRP.

396
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,800
This is risk protection. Yeah,

397
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:43,360
it's a tool for producers to have and it

398
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:46,160
keeps you in business. It It's a solid

399
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:48,720
thing. It's like every car in a parking

400
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:50,079
lot or every house you see driving down

401
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,079
the road, every one of them's got

402
00:14:50,079 --> 00:14:54,320
insurance on them and every one of them

403
00:14:52,079 --> 00:14:56,560
hope they don't ever have to use it. On

404
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:58,320
the other hand, when the house is

405
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,639
burning down, you can't get insurance.

406
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:03,680
So, this is the time check with your

407
00:15:00,639 --> 00:15:06,240
agents. Uh the product is the same. It's

408
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:09,279
a crop insurance for calf kind of a

409
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:11,519
program. And as producers and industry

410
00:15:09,279 --> 00:15:14,880
leaders, we've struggled for this to get

411
00:15:11,519 --> 00:15:17,040
something like this for our our sector

412
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:19,519
of the industry for years and we finally

413
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:22,560
are there. We encourage people to use it

414
00:15:19,519 --> 00:15:24,480
or at least look at it. That that's the

415
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,399
my biggest thing is a lot of a lot of

416
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:28,959
producers out there, cow cap guys out

417
00:15:26,399 --> 00:15:31,920
don't understand it and it scares them.

418
00:15:28,959 --> 00:15:34,320
And so that's one thing we as industry

419
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:37,279
need to do better is going and educating

420
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,800
these guys with these cow herds on on

421
00:15:37,279 --> 00:15:40,000
Yeah, the yearling guys are knowing it.

422
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,600
They're they're in the business. They're

423
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,120
they're used to it. They they protected

424
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,040
their yearlings for years. The stalker

425
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,839
guys have done it all. But these

426
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:49,839
producers, these cow calf guys never I

427
00:15:47,839 --> 00:15:51,199
mean never had nothing like that. So now

428
00:15:49,839 --> 00:15:52,639
when they see something like that, it

429
00:15:51,199 --> 00:15:53,920
just kind of they're like standoffish

430
00:15:52,639 --> 00:15:55,120
are like what are they trying to they're

431
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,320
trying to get me here? There's another

432
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:59,759
way they're trying to get a dollar off

433
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:01,920
of me. So if it's we need to as an

434
00:15:59,759 --> 00:16:04,079
industry as a industry whole, we need to

435
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:06,079
we need to do a better job of explaining

436
00:16:04,079 --> 00:16:07,199
that to those smaller producers that

437
00:16:06,079 --> 00:16:08,880
that need to understand it.

438
00:16:07,199 --> 00:16:11,040
Well, think about that producer. Let's

439
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:13,519
say there's a producer 60 years old and

440
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:15,199
they got 100 cows and they've and

441
00:16:13,519 --> 00:16:16,560
they've and they've built that cow herd

442
00:16:15,199 --> 00:16:18,000
up since they were, you know, 20 years

443
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,959
old or something. They already out of

444
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,560
high school. How many times in that 40

445
00:16:20,959 --> 00:16:25,440
years that they've been building that

446
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,800
herd have they been taken advantage of,

447
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,240
you know, throughout throughout their

448
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,079
lifetime, throughout their career? And

449
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:32,320
so when something like LRP comes in and

450
00:16:30,079 --> 00:16:33,759
they and they don't understand it, it's

451
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,440
another thing that could potentially be

452
00:16:33,759 --> 00:16:37,360
taken advantage of, though. So there's

453
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,560
got to be a more thorough explanation.

454
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:42,639
And I'm sure there's going to be people

455
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:44,480
watching this podcast uh that we use

456
00:16:42,639 --> 00:16:46,800
those term or we use the the

457
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,720
abbreviation LRP or we use LMA. you

458
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:51,279
know, LRP, we're talking about livestock

459
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:54,079
risk protection. And we're talking about

460
00:16:51,279 --> 00:16:54,800
insuring the animals that you have uh

461
00:16:54,079 --> 00:16:57,040
into the future

462
00:16:54,800 --> 00:17:00,000
into the future to price protect them.

463
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:02,480
You're not insuring your calf. You still

464
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:05,039
have to do a good job in production. You

465
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:08,079
get paid for what you produce, but we

466
00:17:05,039 --> 00:17:10,079
are protecting price. So, this price has

467
00:17:08,079 --> 00:17:11,600
run up.

468
00:17:10,079 --> 00:17:13,520
Remarkably,

469
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:16,079
some of the people who are against a lot

470
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:18,480
of things

471
00:17:16,079 --> 00:17:20,559
for no for no special reason at all will

472
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,959
tell people, "Oh, this is a terrible

473
00:17:20,559 --> 00:17:24,480
program. This is something that the

474
00:17:22,959 --> 00:17:26,240
government is just telling you and

475
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,400
they're managing your cattle and they're

476
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,720
telling you what you got to do." That is

477
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:33,360
absolutely not true. People ask me those

478
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:36,960
questions every day because I talk LRP

479
00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:38,799
to people every day. And I tell every

480
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:42,080
one of them, "These cattle are yours.

481
00:17:38,799 --> 00:17:43,679
You make the decisions. Don't Don't ever

482
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:46,240
get that confused. When you get ready to

483
00:17:43,679 --> 00:17:47,919
sell them, you sell them. They're yours.

only LRP and it's part of your business,

but and you feel like it benefits

522

producers and so he he's really

523
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,600
passionate about it. And when I got to

524
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,200
talk to him in Alabama, I found out he's

525
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,679
very passionate about the common ground.

526
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,799
He's passionate about producers and and

527
00:19:09,679 --> 00:19:11,919
uh you know, when I talk to somebody

528
00:19:10,799 --> 00:19:13,120
like that and you can see that in their

529
00:19:11,919 --> 00:19:14,080
eyes, you think like, man, there's

530
00:19:13,120 --> 00:19:15,600
something there's something different

531
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,960
about this guy. And then he told me

532
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:20,720
where he went to college and what he did

533
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:22,960
there. Tell us tell us about that.

534
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,240
I you know, I don't know. We may not be

535
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,600
able to tell all those things. I

536
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,440
You don't have to tell all the stories.

537
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,039
I went to Old Miss and and I was a

538
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,120
football player there. And I've been

539
00:19:29,039 --> 00:19:33,440
fortunate in my life like a little a lot

540
00:19:31,120 --> 00:19:35,919
of kids growing up, you know, you're

541
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:38,400
trying to decide what you want to be and

542
00:19:35,919 --> 00:19:40,240
some kids want to be football players

543
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:42,400
and some kids want to be soldiers and

544
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:44,080
some people want to be cowboys. And I've

545
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:47,039
been fortunate enough in my life that I

546
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:50,720
got to be all three. So I'm a past

547
00:19:47,039 --> 00:19:52,240
military, past football, current cowboy.

548
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,600
That's where that dogged determination

549
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,880
comes from right there. You don't do any

550
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,360
of those things without having some

551
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,480
determination.

552
00:19:55,360 --> 00:19:59,360
I'm going to tell you lots of grit and

553
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,880
lots of determination. So, well guys, is

554
00:19:59,360 --> 00:20:02,640
there anything else we want to touch on

555
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,280
before we kind of shut this thing off

556
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,520
here?

557
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:08,720
I really do. Just a minute, Ty. I I

558
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:11,039
really want people to understand this is

559
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:14,000
important. This is the future of the

560
00:20:11,039 --> 00:20:16,720
industry. This is an opportunity for us

561
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:20,880
to be proactive. Jump out there in

562
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:22,880
front. say that it's not just about

563
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:25,200
ranchers and farmers. It's about rural

564
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:27,200
communities. When you lose a ranch and

565
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,360
you turn it into development or you turn

566
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:31,440
it into recreation,

567
00:20:29,360 --> 00:20:33,760
all of those little businesses go away.

568
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:36,720
All of those are dependent on what we

569
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:39,039
do. So, our reach goes way out. And if

570
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:44,480
it's important for you for the United

571
00:20:39,039 --> 00:20:47,360
States to continue to be food uh

572
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:49,120
food friendly or food supportive or we

573
00:20:47,360 --> 00:20:50,720
don't want to be food dependent.

574
00:20:49,120 --> 00:20:52,240
That's that's what we absolutely don't

575
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,280
want to do. We don't want to import all

576
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,280
of our stuff.

577
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:57,280
In my lifetime

578
00:20:55,280 --> 00:21:01,200
after World War II, I'm not that old,

579
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:02,960
but we lost we've given up

580
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,880
most of our manufacturing. We've given

581
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:07,039
up most of our knowledge. We've given up

582
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:09,120
a lot of our wealth. The only thing we

583
00:21:07,039 --> 00:21:11,440
hadn't really given up is agriculture.

584
00:21:09,120 --> 00:21:13,200
And I'm determined in my productive

585
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:16,559
career that I'm going to campaign that

586
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:17,039
we continue to have a solid agricultural

587
00:21:16,559 --> 00:21:18,559
base.

588
00:21:17,039 --> 00:21:20,559
Well, this is one of those opportunities

589
00:21:18,559 --> 00:21:21,039
to not say somebody should have done

590
00:21:20,559 --> 00:21:21,600
something.

591
00:21:21,039 --> 00:21:23,200
Y

592
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,280
this this is an opportunity to actually

593
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,640
step in and say we're going to do this.

594
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,400
Sign up.

595
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,919
Sign up. If you'll go to the website,

596
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,559
sign your name. That's the biggest thing

597
00:21:29,919 --> 00:21:34,320
we need. Support.

598
00:21:32,559 --> 00:21:36,640
If you go to Congress and you don't have

599
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:38,320
a lot of names and support on there, you

600
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,039
don't get much attention. That's just

601
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:43,679
the way it is.

602
00:21:39,039 --> 00:21:45,360
Common Groundscoal dot is it or it'll be

603
00:21:43,679 --> 00:21:47,200

604
00:21:45,360 --> 00:21:48,480
the on the link to of the of the

605
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,480
podcast. So,

607
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,799
Common Grounds. It

608
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,640
pops up Common Grounds Coalition. And if

609
00:21:52,799 --> 00:21:57,280
if you will when you're watching this,

610
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:59,440

more information for yourself. And and

612
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,159
as you read through it, you'll you'll

613
00:22:00,799 --> 00:22:04,799
understand that you want to be a part of

614
00:22:02,159 --> 00:22:06,640
it cuz it is a industrywide. It's not

615
00:22:04,799 --> 00:22:08,640
just one

616
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:11,440
ranchers and farmers. It's it's just

617
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,960
Americans that think that that think of

618
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,520
agriculture is important to this

619
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,120
country.

620
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,880
Yep. You don't have to own cows. You

621
00:22:15,120 --> 00:22:20,080
don't have to have a farm. you if you

622
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:22,400
think being dependent on just solely

623
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:24,480
American farms and American ranchers to

624
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,240
produce our food here in America, this

625
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,840
is something you need to get behind.

626
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,640
Correct. That's where we that's our

627
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,120
