We would love to sit down and talk more about sustainable beef! DYK U.S. Beef has one of the lowest carbon footprints in the world: only 2% of U.S. GHG emissions. @drsplace would make a SUPER guest on your show to talk more about it!

Cattle production builds healthy grasslands, sequesters carbon, reduces wildfire risk, and provides all these environmental benefits while accounting for only 2% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. Thank you @SenJohnThune for recognizing that #grazingisgood !

@RoyBlunt @SenJohnHoeven 98% of all American ag operations are family-owned. That's who @SenateAgGOP Members like @RogerMarshallMD and @SenHydeSmith are fighting for! Major tax increases on family farms and ranches would cripple the next generation of cattle producers in Kansas, Mississippi, and beyond.
