NCBA and HCC Highlight Conservation in Congressional Testimony

Hawaii Cattlemen’s Council (HCC) Managing Director Nicole Galase testified before the U.S. House Agriculture Subcommittee on Conservation, Research, and Biotechnology at a hearing on conservation and agricultural production.

The HCC represents 135 Hawaiian ranchers who steward 750,000 acres of Hawaii, or nearly 20% of the state’s total land mass. As a state affiliate of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA), HCC works with NCBA to ensure that cattle producers’ interests are represented at both the state and national levels.

“When you think of Hawaii, you might picture lush greenery, beautiful forests, and mountains.
