On today's REX Daily Podcast, Dom talks with Kent Bacus, Executive Director of Government Affairs for the National Cattlemen's Beef Association in the United States, about his current trip to NZ to talk at the recent Red Meat Sector Conference, what role NZ can play in the increased demand for beef in the US and what it will take to rebuild the declining US national herd. They also discuss the reaction from ranchers to the Trump administration's importation of Brazilian beef and the current state of the global beef market... And he talks with Geoff Ross from Lake Hawea Station about his latest venture, Carbonfields. They discuss how the company has been created to generate revenue for farmers from existing bush, forest and scrub on their farms, how it works in practice and the potential future of the ETS.
