Beef herds are at the lowest point since like 1950. I live in a very heavy farming state and there were warnings the last couple years that beef prices were going to go very high. This isnt something that will be corrected easily and will take a few years to rebound with the right weather conditions.

Trump is a tool but this is actually a good thing and a needed step. The reality is you need to up the supply to meet demands better and yes a more abundant supply will bring prices down.

While its understandable people are skeptical of everything the guy does this is a logical and needed step that isnt some nefarious grand plan. Argentina is a very large exporter of beef. Only a small handful of places are higher.

How does pumping the market with imported beef help with herds being low? How does it not just force farmers to lower their prices despite having lower supply, screwing them over in the process?
