Remarks Of CFTC Commissioner Dawn D. Stump Before The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Live Cattle Marketing Committee Meeting At The 2019 Cattle Industry Convention

Date 01/02/2019

I want to thank my long-time friend Colin Woodall for the invitation to speak with NCBA’s Live Cattle Marketing Committee.  Having only recently been confirmed to my position at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, I am extremely pleased that my first industry conference is before all of you, friends in the cattle sector.  Since I am now a Commissioner, I must also tell you that the views I express today are my own and do not represent those of the CFTC or my fellow Commissioners.  I grew up in the agricultural industry during the farm crisis of the 1980s. My hometown of Olton, Texas is almost exclusively dependent upon crop production, cattle feeding, and more recently dairy operations. I have seen first-hand the tremendous risks involved in these lines of business and know you all need access to a variety of effective risk management and price discovery tools, including the futures markets.
