}}National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) is a trade association and lobbying group for beef producers in the United States.[4]

National Cattlemen's Beef Association operates the Cattle Industry Annual Convention & Trade Show, the Cattle Industry Summer Conference, and the television show Cattlemen to Cattlemen.

Advertising campaign

National Cattlemen's Beef Association is the group responsible for the ad campaign run in the U.S. using the slogan "Beef. It's What's For Dinner". Music from the ballet Rodeo by Aaron Copland is used in the radio and television commercials. On January 21, 2008, Matthew McConaughey became the spokesman of the organization, having taken over from Sam Elliott and the late Jim Davis and Robert Mitchum.

The Dinner ad replaced Beef. Real food for real people. James Garner was spokesman until he underwent quintuple heart bypass surgery.[5]

Beef Checkoff assessment

National Cattlemen's Beef Association is funded partially by membership dues and partially through the Beef Checkoff, which imposes a mandatory assessment on each head of cattle at sale.[6] The assessment, which was authorized by Congress in the Beef Promotion and Research Act of 1985, brings in around $85 million a year, of which the National Cattlemen's Beef Association receives roughly $55 million.[7]

The constitutionality of the assessment tax and its subsequent use to finance beef advertising tried in the United States Supreme Court case of Johanns v. Livestock Marketing Association. A group of cattle producers sued the United States Department of Agriculture for being forced to pay for advertising they disagreed with, violating their First Amendment right to free speech. The Supreme Court held that the mandatory assessment fund paid for government speech, and therefore the government could not be sued under the First Amendment. The Supreme Court agreed that compelled funding of private speech is unconstitutional, compelled funding of government speech generally is not. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the mandatory assessment in a 6–3 decision.[8][9]

National Cattlemen's Beef Association had a total net worth of $17.0 million as of September 30, 2015.[1]

Finances

National Cattlemen's Beef Association received $61.6 million of membership dues, Beef Checkoff mandatory assessment taxes, and other revenue during its fiscal year 2015.[1]

During the same period, National Cattlemen's Beef Association spent $26.0 million on advertising and promotion; $15.8 million to compensate its own employees; $5.5 million on travel, conferences, conventions, and meetings; and $1.2 million on occupancy; and $11.5 million on other expenses.[1]

Legislation

National Cattlemen's Beef Association supported the Farmers Undertake Environmental Land Stewardship Act, a bill that would require the Environmental Protection Agency to modify the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure rule, which regulates oil discharges into navigable waters and adjoining shorelines.[10] The rule requires certain farmers to develop an oil spill prevention plan that is certified by a professional engineer and may require them to make infrastructure changes.[10] According to supporters, this bill would "ease the burden placed on farmers and ranchers" by making it easier for smaller farms to self-certify and raising the level of storage capacity under which farms are exempted.[11] National Cattlemen's Beef Association's president said that they were "pleased" that the "bill will keep many of our producers from having to undertake excess costs as a result of the Environmental Protection Agency's overregulation."[11]

In 2013, National Cattlemen's Beef Association supported the Water Rights Protection Act, a bill that would have prevented federal agencies from requiring certain entities to relinquish their water rights to the United States in order to use public lands.[12][13]

In 1996, cattle prices decreased substantially, and National Cattlemen's Beef Association asked the federal government for assistance.[14]
