About MCA  
MCA is a not-for-profit, grassroots, member-driven organization focused on protection and promotion of the “economic, educational, political, and social interest of the Missouri beef cattle industry.” 

Who Belongs?

Membership in MCA is open to any producer who is interested in accomplishing the mission of MCA.  MCA’s policies and priorities are established through the time tested grassroots process it has followed since 1911.

 

Every producer member of MCA may introduce policy concepts to the membership during the annual meeting. The MCA Board of Directors addresses interim policy needs and members can submit policy requests or ideas to any member of the Board at any time throughout the year.

 

Associate members of MCA are also very important to the success of MCA.  Non-producers wanting to support the MCA may join as associate members.  MCA has memberships for collegiate and junior members.  MCA membership represents thousands of producers across Missouri, and our associate memberships are from around the globe.  Join now!
 

MCA has members in 109 of Missouri's 114 counties. 

 

Watching Out for Your Interests

The Missouri Capitol BuildingMuch of MCA’s focus is in the area of government affairs.  It is our strong belief that producers, as citizens, should be tireless in their protection of their rights and their businesses.  If you want to see what’s happening for yourself, you can watch the actions of the Missouri General Assembly, or find your elected officials by linking yourself to either the Missouri House or Senate and then searching the database.

                                     To our State House...

                                                   To the White House...

                                   Members set policy.
