[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 276889, member: 97"] Iowa Cattlemen's Association Faces Shortfall In Money, Membership KCCI 8 Des Moines September 26, 2006 Iowa (IA), US DES MOINES, Iowa -- [b]The Iowa Cattleman's Association faces budget cuts and member discontent[/b] just as the state's beef industry is poised for a comeback. [b]The group is cutting $260,000, or nearly a fourth, from its budget for next year.

Iowa cattle producers are trying to ride a wave of increased ethanol production. Using distillers' dried grains, a cheap byproduct of the ethanol-making process, could be a way for Iowa's cattle feeders to gain a competitive edge. Yantis said membership in the group is down to about 10,300, instead of an expected 11,000.
