[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 151249, member: 97"] Read Again Frenchie- I said SOUTH America---yes it probably will be funneled thru Central America using the multitude of agreements now being signed by all these countries..... Brazil produces more cattle than the US, Canada, and Mexico combined- using an Ag workforce who's average daily pay is less than $10 day......And the way things are now when this starts coming thru our trade agreements into the US and on into Canada by way of NAFTA it will all be unlabeled as to country of origin-The multinationals do not want to give consumer in the US or Canada a choice- not if it would take away from their profits and ability to pass it off as domestic beef... Wouldn't it be more honest to require that it be labeled as to country of origin and let the consumers decide....Or should we just let the packers throw the South American next to the Canadian beef and lower the price on all of it? And Brazil is not that far away- they have a government backed vaccination program- once they get FMD cleared they will be on the way- and with Cargil investing billions $ in Brazil cattle and crop production and building the infrastructure needed they will have a reason to invest millions $ to the lobbyists......USDA just last week opened up Chile for exporting beef into the US.......
