S5 E14: Sorting through the Big Beautiful Bill's tax relief for ranchers, unsuccessful proposals to sell public lands, and payments for depredations by federally protected predators—plus a visit to the White House

We are releasing this episode early, to give you more information about the One Big Beautiful Bill that passed out of the Senate yesterday (as of publishing this episode on July 2). 

In this update, hear from California rancher and past CCA president Kevin Kester about the positive tax provisions in this bill for ranchers and farmers. Last week, Kevin was invited to the White House for an event highlighting the tax relief the “One Big Beautiful Bill” will provide for ranching and farming families across the country for future generations. Hear about Kevin's experience and the importance of the tax relief in this bill, which includes reducing the Death Tax, as he spoke NCBA’s Senior Director of Policy Communications Hunter Ihrman on the Beltway Beef podcast.

On the second half of this episode, Kaitlynn Glover, the Executive Director of the Public Lands Council and NCBA Natural Resources, joins Katie to discuss failed proposals in the bill to dispose of any public lands. Finally, hear what how the bill includes reimbursing cattle producers for loss due to depredation by federally protected predators, such as gray wolves.
