When China buys beef from U.S., they demand to know it’s origin (and they get it). But not U.S. consumers. Maybe that has to do with the half a billion pounds of beef imported into U.S. from Brazil this year (that’s seamlessly blended into our food supply). @kansasangus

Our family’s 1952 M-38 A1 Jeep, regardless of its prior service, carried out it’s most rewarding service ever today, with son John & his wife Brooke carrying this hero in a local parade. May God always bless the greatest generation!

@SarahHuckabee What about all the rural areas in Arkansas where parents have no private schools close enough to send their children to? This appears to be a plan to promote the further hollowing out of rural Arkansas and other states proposing the same scheme. It is shameful.

@the_meat_lady Life without roughly 20% of our slaughter/processing capacity (happens to be JBS). Likely another nail in the coffin of allowing the so called “efficiently” model of having only 4 packers with 85+% of all capacity. @MikeCallicrate

Thanks to @SenJoniErnst for being a cosponsor with Senator Grassley and others of the 50/14 cash negotiated bill aimed at helping cattlemen across the country. Iowa cattlemen raise cattle of the highest quality and unfair markets have been hurting their incomes for years.

Remember when we were told all trade will be wonderful? Well, they forgot to mention wonderful mainly for only a few……now we import lamb when our sheep producers are in trouble, beef at a time when producer equity must be replaced, and soybeans when domestic U.S. prices are…

At least three U.S.-bound cargo ships are preparing to load with #soybeans at two ports in Northern Brazil in the first such bulk shipments since last summer, according to shipping lineup data seen by Reuters.

The U.S. imported 4.4 BILLION pounds of beef & cattle in 2020. And we’re wondering why slaughter cattle & cow prices are soft? No COOL = easy imports. @johnleroynelson

@PoliticalShort Bigger yet @MarkNel1026 , is to hear the master of the English language, the great Paul Harvey. I still miss hearing his news and commentary and “The Rest Of The Story.” Listen to his “If I Were The Devil” piece he did in 1964 and you’ll think he’d been an Angel here on earth.

I have yet to find a small family farm that meets these 4 basic success criteria: - is profitable - compensates *all* required labor appropriately - is not mainly sustained by off farm income or by inherited wealth/land - is not damaging landscapes/resources Happy to be wrong

Lots of corn in western Iowa with ears dropping down (mature) at 48 days post flower. 20% minimum yield loss versus if the plant had filled grain another 12 days. @joel_dejong

@BeefUSA NCBA president had the chance to set the record straight yesterday before the Senate Ag Committee and said one of the cattle industry’s biggest problems is predatory birds. I encourage everyone to search for Senate Ag Committee hearing. You’ll hear why the industry is in trouble.

Antitrust enforcement has been lax or this wouldn’t have become an issue. What’s happens when it’s realized that a significant # of hogs & cattle (& the plants they’re processed in) are owned by foreign corps, allowed by not enforcing antitrust laws. @kenzyranch @MikeCallicrate

America’s enemies are on the march. They are smart, they are brutal, and they will stop at nothing to harm our country. Arkansas is the first state in the country to fight back and kick a Chinese-owned company off our farmland.

Packer margin report for Thursday 6/3/21: $1252. Meanwhile, North American Meat Institute (NAMI) told the world just last week that nothing is wrong (while getting checkoff $$). Who’s fighting for cattlemen’s future? @RCALFUSA is, join us, ! @MikeCallicrate

Now that a M-COOL bill is back in play, cattlemen will see how they’ve been misled by the “meat” industry that costs of M-COOL are prohibitive. Lot tracking is already mandated by Homeland Security. All food items in stores list country of origin (except pork & beef) @kansasangus
