At the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA), we understand that Gen-X-ers and Gen-Y-ers will lead the beef industry into the future. That is why we created a Young Producers’ Council (YPC) for NCBA members who are 18-35 years of age. NCBA will be a driving force in the industry’s future, and we want you to help us get there.

During the 2008 Summer Convention, the NCBA Board of Directors passed an interim resolution creating the Young Producers’ Council. The YPC will have a voice in the form of one council member on each NCBA policy group committee. Details are still being finalized as to YPC structure and events, but registration is now open.  New YPC members will help to shape the structure of the council.  In the meantime, visit our Facebook group site for more news and discussions.

Join YPC today and get involved!

Check out our group on Facebook.com

The Young Producers' Council first started out as a group on the social networking site Facebook.com.  Members can go there to post and discuss topics important to them.  You can also find recent job postings, the latest news and information, and network with other young producers within the industry.   Visit Facebook.com to join the group, or create your profile.         

*You must be a current NCBA member between the ages of 18-35 to participate in YPC.
