Is this to make up for bringing in crap South American meat
Make up for? No.
This is a multi pronged approach of fixing something broken in our food supply chain- wherein the media and bots "pounced" on but one prong to paint the administration in a poor light.

Volume with increased competition will help. I buy local beef too and it's generally higher priced than store bought because of the low volume.

Nice. Helps soothe some of the burn from last week.

I know several ranchers that process their own product…

Why not just pass Maddie’s Prime Act? You know, the legislation he’s presented for years that does exactly this……
There are consequences to being a Masshole. Not having your legislation looked at is one of them. Maybe Massie could get this through if he would have tried some tact? Or is he never at fault for his own actions?

This is one of the biggest successes Trump has had this term that is way overlooked and not appreciated. I think it’s like for every new regulation over 170 regulations have been cut
Easy for the common citizen to overlook when MSM is all doom and gloom for clicks and follows. This 2nd term isn't as bad as many make it out to be. I do not agree with everything, but I do agree with most.
Exposing fraud is still going on and gets nada from MSM.
Illegals are being addressed and is doom and gloom.
Needless regulations are being cut and it is crickets.
Shrinking of Federal government has happened and it is doom and gloom from MSM.
The list of good things is longer than the bad, which so far consists of Iran and gas prices. I'll shut my mouth on my view about the Iran action and just happily take the good.

This is gonna end up where the Chinese own all the processors instead of the Brazilians
It’s ok though because they invested heavily in trumpcoin
ETA: trumps data centers will force anyone with a cow west of the Mississippi out of business due to having no water

Farmers Cannot PRocess their own cattle?
They already could. They could even give it away anywhere they wanted. What they couldn't do, and what Trump's retarded rant still doesn't allow them to do, is sell it.
All that Orange dipshit had to do was endorse the Prime Act months ago but he's too fricking petty to give Massie any credit.

If the cattlemen will calculate an affordable rate for their products that allows to make a living but not put their customers in the poor house. If they just mimic or charge same pricing as the 4 big processors; no difference will be seen. We have a few locals processing their own beef, but the prices are just as high or higher! We still try to by from locals for certain cuts, but not all.
What in the actual goddamn frick? What is the "affordable" rate that independent producers should charge? Specifically, after calculating the cost of buying the land, buying the cows and bull, of feeding them, of finishing them, and processing, packaging, and shipping.... what the frick is "affordable" supposed to mean? You're talking to a group that ate shite for decades with minimal support on the downside, who now gets to watch their own government bet against them on the upside, and you want them to just "calculate an affordable rate"?
This board is trying so hard to suck the shite out of Trump's arse on EVERY. SINGLE. TOPIC. Y'all all some homos.

They need help...regulations have done a lot of damage.

This^^
Massie didn’t do himself any favors either.
Now Trump is doing something about it and they still bitch.

Congress is inept in its entirety and controlled by special interests causing grid lock. To do something good for the high tax paying American people the president has to utilize EO’s.

Doesn’t quite solve the lack of cattle but fortunately that’s starting to come up
We do however need more incentives for regenerative agriculture practices, the way it should have always been

4 companies own 85% of the processing capacity in the US. 24 plants. Two are Brazilian owned. 650+ plants are independent/local plants that make up 15% of the market.

AOC is gonna start leading the flock about cow farts again.

That sounds alot easier said than done imo. How do they compete with massive economies of scale?

Sounds like he is directly responsible for high beef prices now.
