President Donald J. Trump took to Truth Social Friday to announce that he\u2019s authorizing documents to allow farmers and ranchers to process their own food.<\/p>\n

The president said his action targets what he calls a \u2018nasty Monopoly\u2019 of Big Processors \u2014 85% of U.S. beef processing is reportedly controlled by four companies: Tyson Foods, Cargill, JBS USA, and National Beef Packing Co.<\/p>\n

\u201cRanchers and Farmers have always been a number one priority for me. They work very hard, are smart, efficient, and immaculately CLEAN, but for years I have heard that they have had a tremendous problem with the Big Processors, who many say are a nasty Monopoly,\u201d Trump wrote. \u201cThere are, essentially, 4 of them, a very non competitive number, and they make life miserable for our wonderful Farmers and Ranchers, and I can\u2019t let that happen, can I?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cRanchers and Farmers have always been a number one priority for me\u2026 I am authorizing legal documents to be drawn in order to allow Farmers and Ranchers to be given the right to PROCESS THEIR OWN FOOD. This should move quickly.\u201d \u2013 President Donald J. Trump pic.twitter.com\/VotYzZ3ihK<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cSo, in order to break this powerful monopoly, with much of its ownership based outside of the U.S., I am authorizing legal documents to be drawn in order to allow Farmers and Ranchers to be given the right to PROCESS THEIR OWN FOOD. This should move quickly,\u201d the president continued.<\/p>\n

Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins responded in a social media post to say there will be some \u201cbig announcements starting Monday.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are on it Mr. President! Our great AMERICAN ranchers produce the highest-quality, most incredible beef in the world AND it is a matter of national security that we be able to feed and fuel ourselves,\u201d she declared, before adding:<\/p>\n

\n

Big announcements starting Monday \u2014 including:<\/p>\n

\"\u2714\" waiving red tape in processing
\n\"\u2714\" expanding ranchers ability to sell across state lines
\n\"\u2714\" rescinding outdated guidance
\n\"\u2714\" adding technology for faster safety data
\n\"\u2714\" growing real support for small processors (funding and deregulation)
\n\"\u2714\" fighting consolidation so small processors can compete
\n\"\u2714\"expanding truth in labeling<\/p>\n

The world is hungry for American beef!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The announcement comes after Trump was hit with criticism for rolling out a plan to import 300,000 metric tons of tariff-free foreign ground beef over 90 days,\u00a0saying these imported products would be sold at 25 percent below market price.<\/p>\n

Conservative media personality Glenn Beck encouraged Trump to take on the meat processing industry during an interview earlier this week.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a quick sampling of responses to the story, including a response from Beck, as seen on X:<\/p>\n

The monopoly is killing the prices of meat. Good for the farmers.<\/p>\n

Holy moly finally I\u2019m from Iowa. People have no idea how huge this is. It\u2019s insane. They won\u2019t let these farmers do nothing with their own product. It\u2019s the craziest shit I\u2019ve ever seen in my life. Yippee. Prices are going to tumble. This could really bring the farm industry\u2026<\/p>\n

He did it. @glennbeck<\/a> put this bug in his ear just earlier this week. THANK YOU @POTUS<\/a>! Glenn, you are the man! Bravo, sir. Glad our POTUS loves flyover country.<\/p>\n

As a cattle owner concerned about humane treatment before and during processing, I can promise this will, in most cases, also mean better treatment of the animals. And when you are kinder to the animals, they are less stressed, which makes for better-tasting meat. So many wins!\"\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\"<\/p>\n

Imagine living in a \u201cfree country\u201d where ranchers and farmers have to be granted their rights \u201cprocess their own food\u201d.<\/p>\n

Are you mad enough yet?? I don\u2019t think so\u2026..<\/p>\n
