[QUOTE="bball, post: 1601173, member: 23752"] 3. Stop foreign meat from being labeled “Product of U.S.A.” by taking up the OCM and American Grassfed Association petition to USDA’s Federal Safety Inspection Service, and rule favorably on behalf of America’s family farmers. 4. Withdraw the United States Mexico Canada Agreement (USMCA) until such time as Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) is included in the USMCA. 5. Reduce the amount of foreign beef imported into the United States and cease all efforts to reopen the U.S. to Brazilian beef. Someone please explain to me how items 3, 4, and 5 do not benefit the small producer. How they do not benefit any producer in this country really? Not being a wise azz, I really want to know. Looks to me like those are very clear measures to actually protect producers in this country that require very minimal intrusion and effort by the govt; perhaps finding the shut off valve? Actually leveling the playing field between producer and packer somewhat in this country. If anything, it looks to me, like those are steps to keep the govt from meddling behind the scenes to benefit(and receive their under the table contributions)packers in this country and/or globally(think JBS). Here is my reality. I have 25-35 cows at any given time. This is a hobby for me. I enjoy it. However, I do try to pay attention and am concerned for the future of the industry. I would sell all my stuff today if I thought for a second it would help preserve the cattle industy for future generations. I can't imagine the pressure some folks (young or old) are under who have financed themselves heavily to make a go at this, only to find themselves jammed up. There is a reason Corbitt Wall has looked pretty glum lately. [/QUOTE]
