Meriwether Farms, a cattle ranching operation, publicly expressed its concerns to former President Donald Trump regarding his suggestion to purchase beef from Argentina to stabilize beef prices. The farm stated that such a move would betray American cattle ranchers.
The message, shared on social media platform X, acknowledged the broader economic and geopolitical factors influencing the beef market, including the need to counter the influence of the Chinese Communist Party in the Americas. However, Meriwether Farms criticized the approach of addressing international issues before resolving domestic problems, asserting that this mindset has contributed to the decline of the nation.
The farm emphasized that high beef prices are not the fault of American producers but rather the result of political decisions that have allowed foreign entities aligned with BRICS to dominate the meat industry. These entities, according to Meriwether Farms, engage in price fixing and mislead consumers about the origin of their products, which can be labeled as “Product of the USA.”
Meriwether Farms also pointed out the lack of effective guidance from the Department of Agriculture, describing it as chaotic and filled with mixed messages. The farm called for an end to the manipulation of American ranchers, who represent only 1% of the population but work tirelessly under challenging conditions to feed the nation.
In closing, Meriwether Farms urged Trump to listen to the voices of American cattle ranchers, stating that continued betrayal of these producers would lead to a failed nation. The farm indicated that Trump"s team knows how to reach them for further discussion.
