A
message
to our fellow independent cattlemen of Nebraska and across the United
States from the ICON Board of Directors:
Independent
Cattlemen of Nebraska (ICON) has been formed in Nebraska to represent,
promote, and protect the interests of only independent cattle producers
and feeders.
It
has become clear that some of the major issues concerning our cattle
industry have advanced to the 11th hour and are in direct conflict
with other sectors of our industry.
One
organization has been representing us all. It's foolish to assume,
however, that one organization can continually represent three different
segments of the industry fully and equally.
| "We
must stand together ---to honor our past, protect our present,
and provide for our future." |
The
cattle industry is a major industry in Nebraska. In order to keep
our state economy strong we need an independent voice that represents
our cattle industry and our interests at the state level, and to
work with Nebraskas elected officials in Washington, D. C.
It's
also important that we have a state cattleman's organization that
is affiliated with the national cattleman's organization, R-Calf
USA, and what it stands for.
We
must stand together--to honor our past, to protect our present,
and to provide for our future. We look forward to working with you
in our new organization and hope you'll join today.
Annual
dues are $50 per year.
We
welcome your calls if you have any questions about ICON and our
mission.
Thank
You,
ICON
Board of Directors
