Grazing Acres Vanish as Corporate Buyouts and Global Dairy Deals Reshape Beef Industry

Trent Loos welcomes New Zealand rancher Damian Buckley for a hard-hitting look at the forces reshaping American beef production. The pair unpack a 26-year decline in U.S. grazing acres, driven by government programs, urban sprawl, and shrinking rancher income. They reveal how boxed beef imports could nearly triple to 8 billion pounds by 2026, why it now takes 900 cows to match median American income, and how billionaire land buyers like Stan Kroenke are snapping up struggling family ranches. The conversation also exposes Tyson and JBS's push into cell-cultured protein and Indonesia's massive dairy expansion plans threatening global herd numbers.
