S5 E5: Sorting through trade and tax talks at CattleCon 2025

There are two issues that came up at this year's CattleCon that we highlight on this episode of Sorting Pen: trade & taxes. In this conversation hear from past CCA President Tony Toso, who is now chair of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association's (NCBA) International Trade Committee. 

Later in the episode we hear from NCBA’s Associate Director of Government Affairs Kelsea Kemp, who happens to hail from California. Listen as Kelsea shares about NCBA’s tax priorities and one specific act NCBA is lobbying on right now.  

This episode also provides IMPORTANT updates on The Corporate Transparency Act! On Feb. 18, the Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network announced that it will begin enforcing beneficial ownership information reporting requirements under the Corporate Transparency Act on March 21.
