Seng to Discuss U.S.-Japan Beef Trade on Cattlemen to Cattlemen

USMEF President and CEO Philip Seng will appear on the upcoming edition of NCBA’s Cattlemen to Cattlemen, where he discusses U.S. beef access in Japan with host Kevin Ochsner. The main focus of the segment is the proposal to increase the current 20-month cattle age limit on beef imports from the United States, Canada, France and the Netherlands, which Japanese regulatory officials are now considering. Seng also discusses the positive reaction this proposal has received in Japan, including strong support from meat importers, retailers and restaurant chains.

The program will air Tuesday, Sept. 18, at 8:30 p.m. Eastern time on RFD-TV, which is carried on DIRECTV channel 345, DISH Network channel 231 and many local cable systems. It will be repeated Wednesday, Sept. 19, at 10:30 a.m. and Saturday, Sept. 22, at 9:00 a.m. (all times Eastern).
