Agencies under Ibach\u2019s jurisdiction at USDA include the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) and the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are extremely pleased to have Under Secretary Ibach joining us at our conference because the agencies he oversees impact our business in many important ways,\u201d said Dave Carter, executive director of the National Bison Association. \u201cHis participation at our conference is a reflection of the excellent working relationship that the bison business has cultivated with professionals within AMS and APHIS.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a meeting with APHIS officials in Washington, D.C. in September, National Bison Association leaders suggested that the association could play a role in distributing animal identification tags in a process similar to a program that the Canadian Bison Association and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency conduct in that country. The Under Secretary is expected to talk about that concept during his remarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other topics important to bison producers within USDA\u2019s marketing and regulatory mission include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Price Reporting \u2013 The bison association is working with the AMS Grain and Livestock Reporting Service to improve and expand the agency\u2019s monthly bison price report.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Commodity Purchase Programs \u2013 AMS periodically issues a solicitation to purchase bison meat for distribution in tribal food and nutrition programs. Discussions are underway regarding how to expand that program beyond tribal reservations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Farmers\u2019 Market Promotion &#8212; The National Bison Association is completing a multi-year grant program, underwritten by the AMS Farmers\u2019 Market Promotion Program, which has resulted in new training and marketing resources as well as the NBA\u2019s new <em>BuySome Bison<\/em> mobile app.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Live Animal Inspection \u2013 APHIS officials oversee the imports and exports of live bison, and coordinate with USDA sister agencies on programs related to herd health and biosecurity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than 400 National Bison Association members and guests are scheduled to gather at the Renaissance Hotel at 3801 Quebec St. in Denver for the association\u2019s 25<sup>th<\/sup> Anniversary Conference January 22-24. Those ranchers are bringing more than 100 head of live bison to the National Western Stock Show for the association\u2019s annual Gold Trophy Show and Sale January 22-25.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WESTMINSTER, CO&nbsp; \u2013 The U.S. Department of Agriculture\u2019s top official overseeing the agency\u2019s marketing and regulatory programs will be among the speakers addressing more than 400 bison ranchers, marketers and &#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-43673","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
