One Big Beautiful Bill: What it Means for Cattle Producers

In this episode of the LaneCast Ag Podcast, host Lane Nordlund checks in with Kent Bacus, Executive Director of Government Affairs for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA), for an in-depth discussion on the just-passed House reconciliation bill and what it means for agriculture. Bacus breaks down the confusion between the reconciliation bill and the Farm Bill, outlines wins for livestock producers—including depredation loss reimbursements and disaster program access—and highlights key tax relief provisions like increased estate tax exemptions and bonus depreciation.

They also discuss the road ahead in the U.S. Senate, the importance of pushing for full repeal of the death tax, and what producers can do to make their voices heard. With policy deadlines looming, this episode delivers timely insight from Washington, D.C., straight to rural America.
