| Cattle crisis as production plummets to decades-low level, rancher warns: 'Biden policies hurting America's cattlemen,' consumers going to pay the price |
| 2024-02-12 |
| [Blaze] As production of cattle has plummeted to its lowest levels in decades, a rancher is warning that Americans are "going to pay the price" for the beef supply hitting a crisis point. "This is a bad situation for America's cattle farmers and America because we're producing 1 billion pounds less beef than we were in this country, just a year ago," John Boyd, Jr. — president of the National Black Farmers Association — said during a Thursday interview on "Fox & Friends First." Boyd has been farming and producing beef for 41 years, and he stressed, "I'm telling you, this is a time when we should be investing in America's cattle, and we're not doing it." "We're not investing in America's beef and cattle farmers, and Biden policies are hurting America's cattlemen, such as myself," he continued. "They should be invested in America's cattle farmers and making sure that we have the tools needed to stay on the farm." |

| #6 Ground beef has been on sale at my local Kroger twice in the last month, but only in the 5 lb. chubs. |

| #5 Wally World here in the Carson Valley, a beef production agriculture valley, is repeatedly out of ground beef. Its just plain nuts and frankly, infuriating that a fundamental mainstay of American diet is curtailed by moronic children in Washington. |
