US Meat Supply

[Thefunksouljon]

Just restocked my freezer with a half steer from a local rancher.

only acceptable way to buy beef.

We had a freezer die the other day and are debating a stand up vs chest. But that decision is needed before we can order a qtr beef / half hog. I agree, its the way to go.

see my other post....not disagreeing with you ..only that if you believe supply and demand theory, importing eggs increased supply.....but, as you point out, that was not the only factor at play..

And like someone else posted, if we blame trump for beef shortage, it's fair for him to claim egg price credit...but I don't agree with either of those. Presidents have little to do with bird flu or drought

Not blaming Trump for beef shortage, merely stating it's a political motivation that prompted the imported beef actions.

Not true in GA. Price of ground beef is about what its been for the last few years.

Exceptions to the norm always exist.

If what you day is accurate. And what it may mean is prices in Georgia were artificially high beforehand.

That's not the norm!
If you don't mind, what is the retail price for 87% ground beef?

I do the 80/20 and get the 3lb logs for 21. Thats within a dollar of what its been the last 4 years. Now they have sales on top of that where i can get 85/15 cheaper and other options. I will hit the closeout section too for great deals.

If you were paying $7/lb a couple years ago, you were definitely getting ripped off.

Iowa will like this im guessing.



BREAKING: In a MASSVE move against the meatpacking monopoly, President Trump is hereby authorizing farmers and ranchers to DIRECTLY PROCESS their OWN FOOD

Trump is declaring WAR on artificially high meat prices!

"For years I have heard that they have had a tremendous problem with the Big Processors, who many say are a nasty Monopoly."

"There are, essentially, 4 of them, a very non competitive number, and they make life miserable for our wonderful Farmers and Ranchers, and I can’t let that happen, can I?"

"So, in order to break this powerful monopoly, with much of its ownership based outside of the U.S., I am authorizing legal documents to be drawn in order to allow Farmers and Ranchers to be given the right to PROCESS THEIR OWN FOOD."

"This should move quickly. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

We are on it Mr. President!

Our great AMERICAN ranchers produce the highest-quality, most incredible beef in the world AND it is a matter of national security that we be able to feed and fuel ourselves.

Big announcements starting Monday — including:

waiving red tape in processing
expanding ranchers ability to sell across state lines
rescinding outdated guidance
adding technology for faster safety data
growing real support for small processors (funding and deregulation)
fighting consolidation so small processors can compete
expanding truth in labeling

The world is hungry for American beef!

MUCH MORE TO COME!

TRUMP is going to war for the American rancher!

He just announced he's drawing up the paperwork to let FARMERS and RANCHERS process their own food, sell across state lines, and finally cut out the middleman.

His target is what he calls a "nasty Monopoly" of four giant meat packers he says have made life miserable for the little guy for years.

Ag Secretary BROOKE ROLLINS says it starts MONDAY. Rescinding the outdated guidance, waiving the red tape, and calling it what it is: "a matter of national security that we be able to feed and fuel ourselves."

The family farm just got a fighting chance again.

Chest.
Had a stand up.
Open the door and all the cold rushes out at your feet

WOW! Donald Trump reveals his new executive order will allow small and medium ranchers to TOTALLY IGNORE the big meatpackers, and sell direct to consumer — 47 is expecting major blowback from the mega corporations

"Small and medium sized and large ranchers can sell their products DIRECT TO CONSUMER, they don't have to go through the Big Four processors and middlemen. They're NOT gonna be happy when they hear this! Will you people protect me?!"

Trump made the RIGHT MOVE.
