Keith Miller is chairman of the board of the U.S. Meat Ex- port Federation and a live- stock and grain producer from Barton County. Keith went to school at Ellinwood, population 2,130 people. Now, that’s rural. Keith is active in farm and community organiza- tions, including Kansas Farm Bureau. KFB joined the U.S. Meat Export Feder- ation (USMEF) because of the importance of meat ex- ports to Kansas livestock producers. USMEF is the trade association that de- velops international mar- kets for the U.S. red meat industry. “I was the one appointed (from the KFB Board) to go to the USMEF meetings,” Keith said. “One day while sitting on a tractor, I got to thinking that 70 percent of what I grow is going into meat exports,” he said. “If I could make a positive dif- ference to grow those ex- ports, it would help the bot- tom line of lots of Kansas producers, and help lots of truckers and shippers and processors and bankers too.” So Keith got involved in the organization and was asked to take on several USMEF leadership posi- tions before becoming chairman of the board of the U.S. Meat Export Feder- ation in November, 2010. His duties require him to travel extensively promot- ing U.S. meat. “I’ll be in ho- tels over a third of the year,” he said. Miller’s first priority as chairman is to gain more ac- cess for U.S. meat products overseas. “We’re looking at declining domestic red meat production,” he said. “For farmers like me to re- main profitable, we need to be ready to meet the de- mand of foreign con- sumers.” Another priority is se- curing capital for self-help marketing efforts like USMEF. A portion of the checkoff dollars collected from producers’ livestock sales is used to promote U.S. meat overseas. This is matched with other funding to support market develop- ment activities. “Funding from checkoffs and the USDA Market Access Pro- gram is extremely impor- Page 18 Grass & Grain, March 1, 2011 Council Grove youth hunt looking for volunteers The Kansas Department cause we lack volunteers.” four.
