The Real Value of Beef and the Ignorance of Modern Leadership
Compared to other foods, beef remains one of the most nutrient-dense, protein-rich staples available. The conversation exposes how elected officials have grown dangerously out of touch with agriculture, lacking even basic understanding of how beef prices are determined or how supply chains operate. The two also unpack the odd news that the U.S. is importing eggs from Turkey—raising the question, where is Turkey getting their eggs? They turn attention to a hurricane bearing down on Jamaica and the sheer power of water, before circling back to the challenges facing American cattle producers. With Mexican cattle imports on the rise and limited processing capacity south of the border, rebuilding U.S. herd numbers will take time, patience, and leadership that actually understands agriculture.
