Tell me you guys or maybe many has been way too much in college reading books and you're all theory


Of course terrorists are inflationary

But you know what's awesome inflationary losing everything that you have including your cities and having unemployment for people that can't work in their towns because we don't make anything



You know it's awesome inflationary when you have to depend on the foreigners that are possible your enemies to bring in your drugs and things that your people need to survive


So tariffs are a great thing but they also can be bad at times or they can be too much trust realize they're too much they're not causing the American rancher to be competitive enough so that we have actually affordable meat

Real world economics aren't theory

It's real world stuff

Things have to be used and chosen with wisdom that's why God bless Solomon not with stupid advisors that have lots of education but with wisdom to make the right choices


God has done the same thing with Trump..

This will greatly help the buyers of meat and won't put pressure on the American Rangers to be more competitive.

The issue is that there's no good reason (reasons, yes, but unacceptable reasons) for our inability to meet domestic demand. It's a self inflicted issue, and one we need to remedy sooner than later. Otherwise things get worse and our food supply becomes more vulnerable.

No I agree with you. We just need people in the WH consistently that agree that our domestic food sources should be secure.

Well they don't seem to have an issue with China owning about 25% of the US pork production!

This is why I only buy clothes made in my neighborhood.

Any time the kids ask for anything I tell them "We have that at home."

If everyone made their own clothes, clothing security would be MUCH better. I hate that we rely on east Asian for clothing. We are taking a BIG risk of everyone being naked at some point.

We can thank Obama for allowing the Smithfield sale to go through in 2013. What a horrible thing to do!

As much as I love it, there are plenty of alternatives to beef that aren't as land intensive and aren't as affected by drought. Get used to eating more chicken and pork if you think beef is too expensive.

Obviously Facebook is not to be trusted but did China Recently reject a large order of beef from Argentina ?

I've seen it referenced from a variety of sources across X and some YouTube videos from the spring. For whatever that's worth.

Is it required to label where the ground beef came from?

The acronym I have seen is
MCOOL
mandatory country of origin listed

I do not think that mcool is going to happen but the the domestic cattle industry is pushing hard for it to be part of this product that is coming in

Also should close I guess it's still the existing loophole. For a while there, a really well known retired pitcher hot a contract to supply Super S grocery stores with beef. He would import them from out of country, I think it was Mexico, and hold them on his ranches for the certain number of days, then label it as home grown.

Did his customers balk?

I see what you did there.

You've just described what nearly everyone growing out Mexico steers did prior to the quarantine. And if you're buying steers out of Mexico and you don't grow them out or feed them enough in the feedlot, the meat is going to be pretty terrible.

Yea it was.

Hang on, Nolan Ryan? Wow.

When does the horse meat hit the shelves?

The Ag secretary doesn't seem to know.

It takes a while. You have to give BLM time to round them up and send them out of the country for slaughter, and then repatriate it as "beef". I imagine wild horses are pretty stringy, so I'd hope the South Americans will take a little time to feed them out but I wouldn't count on it.

Aggie Brooke Rollins spitting some good news/truth, again.

This is fact.

Liberal policies in the name of Climate Change and Bill Gates drove the cost of raising cattle sky high.

Couple that with years long drought, feed costs that are high, the ranchers are up against it.

So the price of corn went up in years where it was a smaller crop? No kidding?
Yes, I'm aware prices went up on everything from 2020-2023. There also what a dip in corn production in that time as well. Guess what happened then too: a drought.

If you read this thread listening to the Yakkity Sax Benny Hill theme song, it is more fun.

First we get pizzed off because there's salmonella in produce imported from Mexico that gets folks sick. Then we get pizzed that imported meat does not get anybody sick.
Make up your minds, critics.

It's a single shipment pending some paperwork. That's the big deal.

The beef was recalled by USDA FSIS because roughly 29,628 pounds of raw Argentine product from Corte Argentino USA entered U.S. commerce without the required import reinspection.

It was a Class I recall for the procedural violation. No contamination was found and no illnesses…

But the left doesn't care.

They just want the headline because they know that is all most people read nowadays, so the headlines will imply that the beef is actually making people sick.

Exactly.

So is the CCP just being kooky for rejecting Argentine beef thats loaded with a banned antibiotic?

As usual I am not sure what you are on about but I assume it is the shipment of beef to China which was treated with chloramphenicol. It's banned here too. Mandatory country of origin labeling should be a classic 80:20 issue of bipartisan support.

would seem this may be more than just a simple mixup of paperwork as you originally suggested then, no?

Well procedural mistake that was caught and dealt with really doesn't amount to much. It's kinda like the in place procedures worked as they are supposed to,
Why is that bad to a critic?

Sounds like the beef growers lobby didn't grease the wheels properly and ranchers are now going to get screwed.

I can't wait to chip in for their bailout to make them less mad about it.

High prices cure high prices. It's cyclical in beef, always has been ... you can't flip a switch and make more grown out cattle appear, they have to be born and grow out.
