Farm Action issued the following response to President Donald Trump’s proposal that the U.S. purchase Argentinian beef to bring down beef prices.
This statement can be attributed to Christian Lovell, Farm Action’s Senior Director of Programs and an Illinois cattle producer:
“President Trump’s plan to buy beef from Argentina is a betrayal of the American rancher. Those of us who raise cattle have finally started to see what profit looks like after facing years of high input costs and market manipulation by the meatpacking monopoly.
