I've read it.
It went from hundreds to dozens to 4 owning 85%. Over the last few decades the 4 started using their consolidated power to coordinate production and fix prices at the expense of the rancher and the public.
The fix is to enforce the Sherman anti-trust and Packers and Stockyard Acts to re-decentralize packing along with other measures to reduce the barrier to entry for independent processing plants and take financial pressures off ranching.
This is great, but it should be a law, not just an executive order. My PRIME Act has dozens of bipartisan sponsors in the House & Senate. A pilot program for it is in the House farm bill. Pass the PRIME Act so consumers can get affordable U.S. beef and farmers can flourish! 🇺🇸🥩
I’ve been generating my own electricity almost exclusively from (the same) solar panels for 20 years at my house.
Per acre, solar panels make an order of magnitude (10x +) more energy than any biofuel scheme, but we should be putting them on marginal ground, not prime farmland.

I’m eating lab grown meat the second it’s mass market ready. It’s biologically identical to animal meat and will reduce suffering more than any technology in the history of our planet as long as enough people switch over from factory farmed meats.
This MUST stop
Americans are being poisoned “Suppliers have been caught using a special product known as meat glue to stick together scraps of meat”
“The hidden ingredient that’s making you sick”
Meat glue, also known as transglutaminase, is legal in all 50 states. It is used in about eight million pounds of meat every year in America
“I've just got some, fine diced beef and my special enzyme. I'm just gonna mix it up a bit. Why have we got the masks on? This is dangerous. See that? Don't breathe that in.
This powder is transglutanamase enzyme, otherwise known as meat glue. Meat glues come in a number of forms, some produced by cultivating bacteria, the others, the primary ingredient comes from the blood plasma of pigs and cattle, specifically the coagulant which causes blood to clot. Ours uncooked is easy to spot the difference, but cooked is another story.”

“Meat glue one is on the right, and the real McCoy is on the left. And it's not just beef. Pork, lamb, fish, and chicken are all stuck back together using this glue.
If this food is sold or represented as a solid piece of steak and you cook it rare, you're really leaving yourself open, um, to get food poisoning. And chances are, unless you're a vegetarian, you're eating it on a regular basis.”
