    He who controls the food, controls the people! That's pretty dangerous.

    Unfortunately I think congress both Dems and Republicans are not acting in the best interest of the American public
  • Government Needs To Leave Our Ranchers Alone!America Should Stand Up For American Ranchers!

    Down in Texas just on the east side of Amarillo between I-40 and US 287. A group of ranchers have gone together and building their own meat packing plant. To process their on beef. Not sure completion date is. You should go down there and get an interview with them. Producer Owned Beef’s LLC is the name of the new processing company.

    As my grandfather said before he passed, the USA will suffer without family ranches, and family farms.
  • @james-we6fr
    90% of Americans have no idea where or how the food gets on their plate. They just go to the grocery store and there it is. The same goes for oil and gas
  • @bpeterssen
    Do the right thing and support your local producers. Here in Montana and Wyoming we are blessed with them!
  • @davidrife6191
    So also in turn the USDA has been bought out by the two of four beef producers. The only real hope we have now is people buying direct from the ranchers. Otherwise complete control by the consumer is lost. 😡
  • @lukecp
    Been a R-Calf member since 2019. Bill puts it straight. Thanks for giving the attention this issue needs!
  • @Fjbcaca
    It was gone when USDA was put in place to tell you its for your safety. That was the begin of the over reaching policy.
  • I have wrote in the comments before - by-design - the Plum Island Infectious disease lab (an island off the east coast) was moved several years ago to the Flinthills, north of Manhattan, Kansas which is in the middle of cow and corn country along with swine and poultry. As livestock producers, we smelled a rotten rat but our outrage was ignored. Now an endemic outbreak of disease will spread rapidly in the heartland of the US. Evil has been at work insidiously for many decades - now the 'fruit' has been exposed. I have not lost hope but it's going to get messier before the turn- around.

    If you read the biography of North Korean refugee Yeonmi Park this will make perfect sense. Starving people are too busy trying to survive and are too weak to take back their government.
  • @harrison2025
    Thank you for having this conversation and posting it to YouTube. So unfortunate to hear this is going on. However- knowledge is power and we can vote with our dollars. Buy direct from US ranchers!
  • @juliepipkins4227
    It seems like the deck is stacked against the American Rancher. This is so disheartening, the corruption is palatable and its not the taste of beef, its pure greed and control.😢😠
  • @trishcraig723
    Tyson is a no-go, so now we are down to 1. Find a local grower.
  • I think the producers should get the most money. This is why you should go find a good rancher. Buy from them and have it processed by the small butcher shops and this will help the Rancher the butcher and you family. The beef is better quality cause you know what you are getting and what it’s been fed. When you buy at the grocery store you don’t have a clue what you are getting. Once the hide is off they all look the same. I am for helping the rancher and the small business man. This is a win for everybody except the big Companies that control it all.
  • @linnjensen7469
    This is a very important issue thank you for covering this and other societal issues that need our attention
  • @debolson2720
    Good job ! We are retired dairy farmers and of course have "seen it all" as they say. Yup---lots of stuff can happen . You described the birth issue well. Thanks. Always fun to see what you are up to there. The non-farmer person just can't possibly know what is entailed in raising livestock. You are presenting it well.

    Trinity, This interview with Bill Bullard is probably the most important interview you have produced. Bill gets to the point real quick, is articulate, and speaks simply so the average consumer can understand the problems. Obviously, you know the right questions to ask him (probably because you already know the answers.) I’ll post a link to it for others to see. And a topic I’d like to see you tackle… Here is a concern I have about agribusiness by way of a first hand story…I’m a minority stockholder in a 4th generation family farm on which my grandfather raised crops and angus cattle. Twenty eight years ago my mom bought her sister out. At the time she could afford to do that only because the crops produced on that land under a crop-share lease would generate enough income to make the land payments. Today, a 540 acre farm 3 miles away in the same county was purchased for $19,000.00/acre by Bill Gates and one of his shell companies. Do the math. There is no possible way to make a land payment from crops grown on those acres given commodity prices today. So, how does a small farmer or rancher keep a farm in the family and pass on the generational knowledge of how to farm/ranch to the next generation? It isn’t just cattle producers getting squeezed out of the market. There have been two very bad years for commodity prices and this one isn’t looking too good at this time. I’m concerned farmers/ranchers are the next serf class in America. Soon very few will own the land they farm and then they will be asking themselves why am I working so hard for so many hours a day for so little pay. Then we’re really going to have a food shortage crisis.
