Farmer Joel Salatin just slammed Trump’s plan to import foreign beef as a “slap in the face.”
American ranchers are already struggling.
Now, they’re being forced to compete in a market flooded with foreign beef.
“Beef cattle farmers have just literally in the last year finally gotten to where they get a price that actually makes it profitable.”
Trump’s import plan “kicks the legs out” from under them, Salatin said.
And as we have been saying for months, on top of crushing American ranchers, this plan is not even likely to reduce beef prices.
Why?
Because the benefits will just be captured by the multinational corporations selling the beef, like JBS.

I know it’s not Winter BUT I saw this adorable video and thought it was so relaxing.

“This president makes another sour deal and punches the American farmer in the face.”
“We’re losing 77 farmers and cattlemen every single day in the United States.”
“There’s no guarantee that the American people are gonna see any savings in the local grocery stores.”
Importing more beef will squeeze American ranchers without fixing the real reason beef prices are so high.
In a market where four meatpackers control roughly 85% of the industry, cheaper imported beef can simply become another opportunity for dominant packers and retailers to capture the difference.
America’s cattle herd is already at its lowest level since 1951, and flooding the market with more imports will make rebuilding domestic production even harder.
Farm Action believes the answer is clear: rebuild the American cattle herd, restore competition, and make sure savings actually reach consumers.

Farm Action’s new in-depth report reveals just how far Taylor Farms’ reach extends across America’s food supply.
The Cyclospora outbreak put a spotlight on one company, but the story goes far beyond a single outbreak.
We break down how Taylor Farms became so powerful and what that concentration means for food safety, farmers, competition, and accountability.

This farmer just exposed how multinational beef corporations lobbied to effectively force the U.S. government to lie to American consumers.
How?
In 2015, Congress repealed Mandatory Country-of-Origin Labeling for beef.
The new rules allowed beef to say ‘Product of the USA’ if any part of the processing happened in the U.S.
Will Harris: “You could bring beef into this country from many other countries.”
“If value was added in this country, it could be marked.”
“If it was cut, or sliced, or ground, or repackaged, it suddenly became a ‘Product of the USA.’”
“For some people, it’s important because they want to support American agriculture.”
“They want to support an American farm.”
“I’m not opposed to imports.”
“I just want to tell the truth about it.”
“I want to give the consumer the right to say, ‘I want this because it comes from the United States.’”

I can’t stop laughing. 🤣🤣🤣
I was quoted in this article. Harsh words but the truth hurts!
A Nebraska feedlot is on track to become the nation’s largest—200,000 cattle on more than a square mile of concrete, generating billions of pounds of manure every year.
“They’re destroying Dundy County,” says local rancher Brad Dixon.

AI data centers are crushing rural America.
Family farmers are being forced to compete with Big Tech for land, water, and electricity.
And taxpayers are being forced to fund Big Tech’s expansion through subsidies and tax breaks.
“Data centers need land.”
“That means productive farmland is being converted into industrial infrastructure instead of feeding communities and supporting farmers.”
“Data centers need huge amounts of electricity.”
“That puts pressure on local power systems and can increase costs for the people who depend on them.”
“Data centers need a lot of water.”
“Some of the largest facilities use up to five million gallons a day.”
“That’s roughly the daily water consumption of a small to mid-sized town of 50,000 residents.”
“Even worse, taxpayers are forced to fund their expansion through public subsidies and tax breaks.”
“Rural communities are being asked to absorb the cost so some of the world’s largest and most powerful corporations can reap the rewards.”
That’s why we’re speaking up.
This issue is pivotal for rural communities.
We are demanding a pause on new data center development until stronger local protections are in place to protect rural communities from being completely hollowed out by corporate power.

“I was a chemically addicted farmer.”
“So I made the decision to start saving myself and went in a different direction.”
“I didn’t listen to any of the haters or any of the naysayers.”
“And I proved them all wrong.”
Our new blog features Kevin Fulton’s powerful story of breaking his farm out of Big Ag’s control, and how Congress can empower millions of farmers to do the same: https://t.co/jUI2U2wqdG
This farmer just said the quiet part out loud.
“I was nothing more than a serf on the land.”
“A chemically-addicted farmer beholden to all these large ag conglomerates.”
“Monsanto.”
“Big seed companies.”
But Kevin Fulton escaped.
He transitioned his Nebraska farm to an organic, regenerative operation in 2002.
“I can’t tell you how good that feels to not have all those gorillas on your back.”
Now, he’s warning that pesticide companies are threatening to put countless farmers at risk with their push for a federal liability shield from lawsuits over harms caused by pesticides.
“We have to be able to… stand up against them and have some type of recourse if there’s damages.”
The stakes could not be higher as Congress debates the 2026 Farm Bill.
The House voted to strip the pesticide liability shield out, but it’s still unclear if the Senate will vote to put it back in.
And on top of that, Congress must decide if this Farm Bill will provide vital support for farmers to transition from conventional pesticide and chemical farming to regenerative practices.
Regenerative farming protects human health, restores soil health, and empowers farmers to keep their profits out of the hands of Big Ag corporations that treat them like serfs on their own land.
This Farm Bill is a pivotal moment for independent farmers.
Read our new blog below to find out how Congress can empower farmers and how you can make your voice heard:🧵
Kevin Fulton: “The best business decision I ever made was to leave the conventional farming sector.”
We’re calling on Congress to provide the support farmers need to make the transition to regenerative farming that Kevin did.

Nebraska farmer Kevin Fulton quit using all pesticides, chemicals, and synthetic fertilizers in 2002.
And his farm is doing better than ever.
Contrary to what Big Ag will tell you, he makes much more money as an organic, regenerative farmer than he ever did as a conventional farmer.
“The benefits are numerous.”
“Start off with financial benefits.”
“It would be a huge digression, from a financial standpoint, for me to go back to being a conventional farmer.”
Second, his soil health is stronger than ever.
“Our soil health scores have just significantly increased over the years.”
“Soil organic matter [has] gone from 1.5% in most of my conventional fields 25 years ago to over 6.5% in some crop fields now.”
“It’s a win for the farmer.”
“It’s a win for the consumer.”
“And it’s a win for the community, my neighbors, the wildlife, the animals, the entire ecosystem.”
“Because I’m not putting toxic chemicals out there [that] poison in the land.”
Transitioning from conventional farming to regenerative farming across the country cannot happen overnight.
It takes time and money.
But Congress has the power to accelerate the transition, empower family farms, and restore our soil health.
With the 2026 Farm Bill, Congress must decide:
Will they give family farms a lifeline and support this transition?
Or double down on the existing system dominated by pesticide and chemical corporations?
This bill matters more than you think.
Our new blog breaks down why Kevin’s story could become a template for saving independent farmers, restoring soil health, and breaking up Big Ag’s corporate stranglehold on the agriculture industry.
Read it below:🧵
“In the 2026 Farm Bill, Congress has a choice.”
“Help more farmers get off the chemical-input treadmill, or give even more power to the pesticide companies that profit from keeping them on it.”
Read our new blog on how Congress can support organic and regenerative farmers below: https://t.co/jUI2U2wY3e
Kevin Fulton doubled his farm’s profits after transitioning away from pesticides and synthetic fertilizers.
How?
As a conventional farmer, he was barely making enough money to keep going for “one more year.”
Big Ag was squeezing him year after year.
“After a while, I was like, this is punishment.”
“I’m not getting ahead.”
“So it was actually financial incentive for me to make changes.”
Today, he no longer pays for chemicals and synthetic fertilizers every year.
Those savings are the key reason why he made the decision to switch to organic, regenerative farming.
And his farm is now doing better than ever.
But it takes time and investment to make the change.
With the 2026 Farm Bill, Congress faces a choice:
They can expand government programs to help farmers transition away from conventional practices.
Including the Environmental Quality Incentives Program Improvement Act in the Farm Bill, for example, would direct federal support to farmers using soil-building practices.
Or they can double down on the current system, where pesticide and fertilizer companies squeeze enormous profits out of independent farmers and our soil health continues to be depleted year by year.
This is a make or break moment for family farms.

Big Ag lobbyists want to overturn Prop 12 to preserve their corporate-controlled food system Glenn Greenwald describes here.
The people of California voted for Prop 12, and now Congress is being pressured to override it.
“Female pigs are put into this tiny crate where they cannot turn around.”
“They live like that their whole life.”
“They go insane.”
“They actually start biting through the metal cages and losing all their teeth.”
“Pigs are as intelligent as dogs… and extremely social animals.”
@ggreenwald @krystalball
Farm Action’s Joe Maxwell is sounding the alarm that the upcoming farm bill could strip states of their authority over food and safety standards.
“Independent hog farmers today have a market in California because of Proposition 12.”
“Big Meat didn’t like that.”
“4 companies control 68% of that hog market.”
“In this farm bill they ask for a federal preemption of states' rights to be able to dictate food and safety issues within their own state borders.”
“This is a Congress that normally would be screaming against bigger government and federal overreach.”
“Monopolies continue to gain more power in the marketplace.”
@BlazeTV
Thomas Massie just advanced a key reform for independent farmers.
And it would deliver a blow to Big Ag’s meatpacking monopoly.
“I’ve worked for 11 years on this… ”
“I got my PRIME Act, a pilot program for it, in the Farm Bill.”
Here’s why this is a big deal:
“Which means that in… any of the states in the union, you could have a small farmer use a small processor and sell their beef, pork, and lamb locally to consumers without the USDA hovering over the transaction.”
“The reason the big corporations, I call it the industrial meat complex, want all these regulations on the little guys is to keep them out of the business.”
“My PRIME Act just says you can sell a steak or a hamburger to your neighbor using a local processor as long as you comply with the local health requirements, and you don’t need the USDA involved.”
“That’s MAHA.”
“It’s a bipartisan bill.”
“If they want healthy food, more sustainably raised food, then you’ve got to break up the meat monopoly.”
@RepThomasMassie @TuckerCarlson
“We’re going to look a lot like the Europe that many of the immigrants came to get away from.”
“Where they had become serfs on the lord’s land.”
Farm Action’s Joe Maxwell warns where America is heading as farmers continue being pushed off their land.
“That’s what it’s beginning to look like in America… hedge funds, billionaires, corporations, the wealthiest owning more.”
“Everyone else working someone else’s land.”
“Every program, whether that's independent hog farmers, whether that's the insurance programs, or whether that's the cash, it is all going to the largest and driving up the concentration of who owns our farmland.”
