The 31st annual Northwest Florida Beef Conference and Trade Show took place Wednesday in Marianna, Florida and a big crowd of producers were on hand to hear a variety of speakers covering the main topic, “Profitable Ranching in a Declining Market”. The keynote speaker was Dr. Larry Corah, who has served the beef industry in several roles: Vice President of Certified Angus Beef Program, Director of Production Systems for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA), and as a Beef Extension Specialist for 25 years at Kansas State University. I talked with Dr. Corah about some of the main points he had for Southeast cattle producers.
