Alberta Beef Producer Meetings

[Happytrails]

For anyone interested the ABP fall local meetings start tonight at Pollockville, Sundre, and Camrose. Go to albertabeef.org for the rest of the meetings.
We all have a right to participate in these meetings, make our views known, and propose resolutions. I would encourage anyone with a strong commitment to the beef cattle industry to do so. I know ABP is not perfect but it carries a lot of weight with or without your input. If you can't be bothered to offer direction then you shouldn't be criticizing later. HT

You are still allowed to criticize later if the organisation refuses to follow or accept your directions though.

You can always ask for your money back...

[grassfarmer]

Well some of it...

Thoughts on the meetings last night? I will be in Longview tonight and Milo next Tuesday. Please introduce yourselves to me if you happen to be at either of those meetings.

"ABP is not perfect but it carries a lot of weight with or without your input" I still maintain that a good idea is a good idea, and if you can't convince the majority of your peers that it IS a good idea, then obviously it ISN'T.

Hey loric. Don't know why we cattle folk are SO not into it on agriville. Apparently no interest. The P'ville ABP meeting was true to that form. Not much bitchin' and complaining or anything. Ryder Lee represented the CCA really well and that's about it. HT

This would be the first year in my career that I have missed the fall meetings because of conflicts with other meetings. How was the Longview turnout?

they follow their ancient script

Per - Longview was okay. A few questions raised on the EU and traceability.

I haven't heard yet how the meetings went last night.
