Tennessee cattlemen are not happy.
The Tennessee Cattleman’s Association is challenging a proposal made by President Donald Trump on purchasing Argentine beef to bring down consumer prices in the U.S.
Tennessee’s beef cattle industry is the ninth biggest in the U.S. — generating more than $5 billion annually. It’s also the state’s second-highest-grossing farm commodity.
U.S. cattle producers are proud to provide the safest, highest-quality beef on earth. We simply ask that the government not undercut them by importing more Argentinian beef in order to manipulate prices.
Thanks again Burchett, Blackburn, Hagerty, etc. for "flailing and failing".
