@JerodMcDaniel Last year I drove home from MO state fair through Windsor Versailles Eldon Eugene. Counted more bales in fenced fields than cattle. It was a scary drive honestly. Prime cattle country for mid mo.
@gavin_spoor@tmonteIH This the dude around laddonia? Bought a massey 15 years ago from him. Spent the rest of the morning looking at a “collection” of equipment.
Mr. President,
The Big Four meatpackers—including Brazil’s JBS and Marfrig—control beef prices, not American cattle ranchers.
These global corporations have been making record profits off U.S. consumers while squeezing independent ranchers out of business.
Importing more beef will only make that worse.
We urge you to reinstate Mandatory Country of Origin Labeling (MCOOL). Right now, millions of pounds of imported beef enter our market with no label at all, undercutting U.S. ranchers and misleading consumers.
You should also investigate the Big Four packers for price fixing. Two of them just settled a 2019 case after manipulating prices and cheating both ranchers and consumers.
Instead of forcing cattle prices down, let’s bring beef prices down—by tackling consolidation, enforcing antitrust laws, and restoring fair competition.
Ranchers need support to rebuild their herds—that’s how we truly increase beef supply and lower prices long-term.
After years of drought, high input costs, and selling into a rigged market, we deserve policies that strengthen rural America, not ones that reward foreign competitors and corporate monopolies.
I’m not trying to be a whistleblower or anything but I came face to face with a problem that every farmer or consumer in the United States and Canada needs to me aware of. This is an absolute joke and a mess but yet as always us common folk are caught in the middle of. It’s going to be interesting to see how this plays out but I’m willing to go to jail for this because it’s absolute crap. #AgTwitter #AgX #JohnDeere #CaseIh #America #Canada #northamerica #AgX #harvest25 #wheat #corn #soybeans #sorghum #milo #macdon #farming #tillage #newholland #Oklahoma
A Missouri school district hired a new Superintendent in March.
He hadn't worked a single day and resigned July 31st.
The district paid him a $229,000 severance.
An Oklahoma school district announced him as assistant superintendent just 3 days later.
