Two days ago: @glennbeck asked President Trump to slash the regulations allowing four corporations to control America’s meat-processing industry. Today: Trump called them a “nasty monopoly” and ordered legal documents drafted to let farmers and ranchers process their own meat.

MORE COMPETITION. LOWER COSTS. STRONGER KANSAS AGRICULTURE.    Today, I joined @RogerMarshallMD at El Dorado Livestock Barn to hear directly from Kansas farmers and ranchers — and discuss the work we’re delivering for them.      Under @POTUS, we’re taking ACTION:      ✅ Backing 10 Kansas meat processors through our latest $57 MILLION meat processing expansion announcement — helping independent businesses grow and giving ranchers more options to sell their livestock.      ✅ Supporting a fertilizer project in Lewis, Kansas, through FIELDS to expand American fertilizer production and reduce reliance on foreign suppliers.      ✅ Delivering $842 MILLION in farm safety net payments to Kansas producers, which began going out last month using increased reference prices from the Working Families Tax Cuts Act.      ✅ Developing President Trump’s $8 BILLION Harvest Fuel Relief program, with eligibility and payment details coming in mid-November.      ✅ Announcing $3 MILLION to expand Kansas’ voluntary hunting and fishing access programs—helping open 40,000 additional acres for hunting, 250 acres for fishing, and two river access sites.      We’re fighting to keep your operations strong, your markets competitive, and your way of life alive for the next generation. More work to be done, but this is progress!

Inside Tyson Foods’ beef-processing plant in Joslin, Illinois, workers facing layoffs have filmed production areas where phones are normally prohibited. The facility processed about 3,100 cattle daily, and its closure will force many local ranchers to transport livestock more than 100 miles to alternative plants, increasing costs and logistical pressure. The shutdown also raises questions about consolidation in America’s meat-processing industry. In less than a year, four Tyson facilities and three plants owned by Brazil-based JBS have reportedly closed or announced closures. Meanwhile, multimillion-dollar executive compensation packages have intensified criticism from workers, farmers, and rural communities affected by the cuts. Rather than allowing processing capacity to become increasingly concentrated, policymakers should help independent farmers and regional cooperatives establish smaller, locally owned plants. Federal loans, grants, and streamlined regulatory support could strengthen competition, reduce transportation distances, and improve food-supply resilience. Taxpayers also deserve a transparent review of past agricultural subsidies, including the $78 million reportedly provided to JBS during the 2018–2019 American farmer bailout program.

They highlight a few critical issues related to food production: subsidies, security, slaughter and sourcing. Viewers won’t want to miss it!

Great to be in El Dorado, Kansas, with my good friend @RogerMarshallMD and so many incredible farmers and ranchers! From strengthening the farm safety net in the Working Families Tax Cuts Act to negotiating 20 new trade deals and frameworks, we’ve been fighting to put farmers and ranchers first since Day One. And the results speak for themselves. We’ve cut the projected $50B agricultural trade deficit we inherited in half and are setting export records in numerous markets across the globe like Mexico, South Korea, the European Union, and Vietnam. And compared to this time in 2024, ethanol exports are up 32%, soybean meal exports are up 11%, and corn exports are up 37%. With some commodities poised for their strongest years on record as we expand market access around the world, we are seeing the farm economy start to rebound here at home. Since the start of the Trump Administration: Soybean prices UP 18% Soybean oil prices UP 44% Wheat prices UP 17% Cotton is UP 15% Sugar is UP 19% Rice is UP 17.8% We still have more work to do, but these are encouraging signs. While in El Dorado, we also highlighted actions the Trump Administration is taking to support ranchers and independent small- and mid-sized beef processors. Just last week, @USDA announced 146 awards totaling $57M in investments for meat processing expansion, including 10 awards right here in Kansas! 🥩 @POTUS is making sure our farmers and ranchers have the support they need not just to survive, but to thrive. The men and women who FEED, FUEL, and CLOTHE this nation deserve nothing less! 🇺🇸💪
