@realDonaldTrump today’s monopoly in the packing industry controls over 80 percent of the market. For family ranches and independent feeders to stay afloat this must be broken up, we are simply price takers when competition doesn’t exist. Help us restore #faircattlemarkets.
Since last month’s fire at a Tyson beef plant in Kansas, cattle prices are down while packer margins are up, and our suppliers are hurting. I’m very concerned about this, and raised it as an important issue at today’s @SenateAgGOP hearing. Watch ⬇️
Real whistleblower story today @realDonaldTrump. Corporate beef packers take millions from American cattlemen. We need you to be the champion of #FairCattleMarkets.
@realDonaldTrump Cattle farmers and ranchers stand with you...Please stand with us! Corporate packer monopoly is killing the American Cowboy. #FairCattleMarkets
@realDonaldTrump we are not asking for any handouts here. All we need is some fairness, transparency and competition in our markets. 4 packers control 80% of the market. Do you think we’re gonna fetch a fair price from them? No. But we have no other option. #FairCattleMarkets
Is twitter just another commercial platform? Hundreds of farmers, ranchers tweeting asking for fair markets in this age of all profits going to the 1%. Yet...#FairCattleMarkets is not trending. Please help us to push this for the ranchers and to @RealDonaldTrump Please RT
#FairCattleMarkets calls on President Donald Trump to take some form of action that would provide some level of balance in the profitability between meat #packers and #cattle producers. https://t.co/Q3Wolek58i
Good morning cattle raisers!
Yesterday, we kicked off the #FairCattleMarkets campaign. On behalf of every cow-calf producer and cattle feeders everywhere: THANK YOU! You are making a difference, and we encourage you to continue tweeting @realDonaldTrump with #FairCattleMarkets.
Please @realDonaldTrump bring back country of origin labeling on beef products so our ranchers can have the fighting chance they deserve! #FairCattleMarkets
🗣🗣🗣CARGILL AND TYSON WERE BOTH INVESTED IN FAKE MEAT PRODUCERS. CARGILL AND TYSON NOT ONLY PROFITED BY CHEATING COW-CALF PRODUCERS AND INDEPENDENT FEEDERS BUT FINANCIALLY SUPPORTED THE MEAT INDUSTRY'S COMPETITION.🗣🗣🗣

Please @realDonaldTrump bring back country of origin labeling on beef products so our ranchers can have the fighting chance they deserve! #FairCattleMarkets
My nephew is the fifth generation on our family ranch that just celebrated 100 years. In order to make another 100 and for him to remain on the ranch we need #FairCattleMarkets. @realDonaldTrump criminal activity by the packers that drives our cattle prices down must stop.
@realDonaldTrump We need your help to get fairness and competition in our cattle markets. What the packers are doing to us as producers and independent feeders is more than unfair, it’s criminal!#FairCattleMarkets
@realDonaldTrump We need an attitude adjustment for the cattle market. What the packers are doing to cattle producers and independent feeders is more than unfair, it is criminal. #FairCattleMarkets
