NDSA Members Join Long Range Planning Committee

Longtime NDSA members Clark Price, who farms near Washburn, North Dakota, and Larry Schnell of Dickinson, North Dakota, are joining the 2026 Long Range Planning Committee. Price thinks the cattle industry is in a good place right now. “Our numbers are low, which reflects in the price of cattle right now. So, we’ve got most sectors profitable right now, but we’re in short supply and we all know that that will change over time.” Policy and sustainability have been a focus in recent years, but Price says funding will be a priority going into the next five-year plan. “Our dollar that was implemented into the checkoff side of things in 1986 is now worth somewhere around 30 cents equivalent to that time. So, I think the need for additional funding is big.”
