A distinct possibility that we and our great power rivals (Russia, China, Iran, or even North Korea) are shadow boxing with anti-satellite weapons in the strategic high ground of space and we're witnessing the downstream effects of that shadow boxing...

I'm out of diesel. All the farmers are out of diesel. This is it. We're done for. Albanese and Bowen are directly to blame. This is serious. I promise you. All other countries have diesel, and it averages $1.80 per litre in most countries in the Asia Pacific. But not Australia. Albanese is up to no good. This is crippling.

Beef producers got more outraged at the idea of an incentive for American dairies to cull extra animals into beef than they are about quadrupling imports from Argentina. Wild how domestic cows trigger more anger than foreign beef. 🐄➡️🥩

Dairy cow numbers are inflated for a reason: it’s profitable to keep even marginal cows if they’re carrying a beef calf. A few years ago beef producers feared this trend would hurt them—ironically, it’s helped fuel oversupply and pressure in dairy instead.

Introducing: Make America More Ground Beef (MAMGB)

MAMGB is a farmer-first USDA proposal that would allow dairy farmers to monetize surplus dairy-origin cattle, while simultaneously increasing domestic beef supply and helping lower grocery prices for American families.

This is not a mandate. It is completely voluntary, open to all U.S. dairy operations, regardless of size or location. If approved, the program could launch as early as this spring.

But to move it forward, USDA needs to hear directly from dairy farmers, and that’s where you come in.

How the Program Works
MAMGB is designed to divert 800,000–1,000,000 additional dairy-origin cattle in spring 2026, adding 900 million–1.1 billion pounds of lean trim to the ground beef market.

That added supply is projected to:
• Lower retail ground beef prices 18–25%
• Increase overall beef demand
• Support packing plants and rural jobs

This aligns with the latest national dietary guidance, which encourages affordable, high-quality protein for American families.

Two Simple, Voluntary Tracks
• Immediate Cull Track
• Cull dairy cows of any age or condition
• $1,600 per head, plus a $200 early-delivery bonus
• Total potential payment: up to $1,800 per head
• Paid upon proof of slaughter (within 30 days)
• Feedlot Beef Track
• Dairy heifers over 400 lbs
• Shipped to approved feedlots for a minimum finishing period
• $1,800 per head, plus $200 early bonus
• Total potential payment: up to $2,000 per head

Payments are on top of normal market sale prices.

Protecting Your Herd & the Industry
This program was intentionally designed with guardrails to protect long-term dairy viability:
• Above-baseline rule: Incentives apply only to additional animals beyond your normal culling levels.
• Example: If your historical average is 10 culls per month, only cow #11 and above qualify.
• Strict dairy-only verification: Breed checks, RFID, and packer attestations ensure only dairy-origin animals qualify.
• Capacity safeguards: Real-time monitoring pauses regional signups if plants reach 90% capacity, preventing bottlenecks.
• USDA-aligned caps: A per-entity payment cap aligns with standard USDA program limits.

Simple Enrollment, Farmer Support
Enrollment would occur through the FSA portal or local county offices, with support from farmer-first organizations, including WUD, to assist with records, baselines, and verification.

Why Your Voice Matters
This is not a handout. It’s a farmer-driven solution to a real oversupply problem, one that turns excess animals into revenue, supports rural jobs, and helps American families afford food.

But this program needs dairy farmers to speak up together.

The dairy industry is often divided. That division works against us. If we unify around a practical, voluntary solution like MAMGB, we can force momentum where it matters most.

There are advanced discussions underway aimed at improving balance and stability in the beef and dairy markets nationwide. One proposal receiving strong consideration is a $1,500–$1,800 per-head incentive for dairy cull cows, alongside payments for dairy heifers sent directly to feedlots. These measures would accelerate placements, increase beef throughput, and expand the effective beef herd in the near term, while also improving price signals that support longer-term cow-calf expansion. For the dairy industry, the program would immediately strengthen cash flow, raise cull values, ease replacement pressure, and provide meaningful relief to producers operating under sustained margin stress.

“Government cheese,” produced in the 1980s to offload a massive dairy surplus, was stored in Missouri’s underground caves and given to struggling Americans. The surplus stemmed from 1970s farm policies that left the government with over a billion pounds of cheese.... 🇺🇸🧀

As dairy farmers faced economic turmoil in the 1970s, the U.S. Department of Agriculture created price supports and subsidy programs to stabilize the industry. These programs required the government to buy milk when market prices fell too low, but instead of discarding it, much of the milk was processed into cheese, butter, and powdered milk. By the early 1980s, the surplus had ballooned into a logistical nightmare, billions of pounds of dairy products were piling up in refrigerated warehouses and abandoned limestone mines across the Midwest.

To address both the waste and public hunger, President Ronald Reagan’s administration launched a distribution initiative, giving away blocks of processed cheddar through food assistance programs. “Government cheese” became a staple in low-income households and food banks throughout the decade, often recognized by its distinctive orange hue and plain cardboard packaging. Though mocked for its rubbery texture, it symbolized both the excesses and the safety net of the American agricultural system.

Today, the so-called “cheese caves” in Missouri remain in use, now largely operated by private storage companies. They serve as a reminder of how economic policy, industrial agriculture, and hunger intersected during a turbulent chapter of American history.

Added fact: The caves that once stored government cheese were part of a larger underground network originally carved out for mining limestone, today, these same caverns also house data centers, office spaces, and even cold storage for wine.

Price support — A government policy that sets minimum prices for agricultural products, ensuring farmers receive a guaranteed income regardless of market fluctuations.
