The Trump's Not President Yet Argument

Beef Prices Soar to Record Highs, Yet Farmers Struggle to Reap the Benefits

For the first time in history the national average price for all fresh beef is above 8 dollars per pound.

Yes, cattle prices have hit record highs in recent months:

• December 2024: Live cattle futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange closed at a record $1.92225 per pound. This was due to concerns about potential tariffs and insect infestations that could disrupt beef imports

My brother texted me this because we shot 4 deer this year. Freezers are FULL of venison.

So? Trump isn't president.

Your article never mentions tariffs. It does say: "Pasture conditions began to deteriorate across the United States in 2020. The La Niña-driven drought would press on for the next three years causing pasture conditions to deteriorate and sending prices for feed grains to record levels (Figure 2). At the same time, inflation began to rise, driving up costs for everyone in the United States, including farmers and ranchers. The combination of drought and high input costs compelled farmers to place a higher-than-normal percentage of female cattle on feed for slaughter, rather than keeping them for replacement breeding, resulting in increased short-term beef production but contraction in the cattle inventory."

Oh c'mon it's Orange Man bad

They don't think that we'll actually read the articles that they link because they don't read the articles that they link.

Bidenomics to the very last day.

Biden and Mike Johnson had the border deal done until Trump got involved.

And Trump talked to Putin 7 times since leaving office.

You Republicans are so dumb to think this administration isn't/won't be the most corrupt. The most TRICKLE DOWN. OMG, Reagan was the first to break unions. I predict Trump will do worse to the middle class. And half the union members will vote for him. Already did. The middle class deserves what's to come.

And at least the government will get gutted too. Social services, programs, pork that goes to your city,

The tax savings go to Musk not you. The makers not takers. You're a taker.

Thank god I'm 54. 8 more years!

I know but it also said it was due to concerns about potential tariffs.

You bragged Trump was responsible for the stock market going up one day. Why not give his win credit for this too?

No, it never used the word tariff. I did a word search just in case I missed it.

That's interesting. AI mentioned that threats of tariffs was a reason but I too did a word search and didn't see it say that in the link they/I provided. This one explains it

Trade is a complex issue and while there is a need to anticipate the impact of trade policy, it can often be difficult, particularly with early-on statements. I would suggest there is more to the new Trump administration’s goal than currently meets the eye with his statement of putting 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada and we have already seen some of the impact.

What's Happening With U.S. Beef Trade, November 2024 Edition?

From January through September, the U.S. exported 2.25 billion lbs. of beef, which is down 3% from a year earlier; however, the value of those exports including fresh, frozen, and chilled beef together with variety meats totaled $7.8 billion, a 5% increase over the prior year.

Nov 26 (Reuters) - U.S. prices may rise next year for avocados, strawberries and other fresh produce, and consumers could face shortages, if President-elect Donald Trump follows through on plans to slap tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada, agricultural economists and industry executives said.
Mexico and Canada are by far the top two suppliers of farm products to the United States, with imports of agricultural goods valued at nearly $86 billion last year, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture and U.S. Customs data.

Do we even have a President right now? Yeah, I know technically Biden is, but he has pretty checked out and so has Harris since election night so right now it seems like no one is in charge.

Oh you're going to see corporate price gouging and a government unwilling to do anything about it. Caviat empto? LOL. Every man for himself. Buyer beware? In Latin? However you say those two things. Get ready for it. I'm ready. Are you? I don't know what you do. I think I can survive 8 more years of this till I retire.

None of these were in the link you posted and are completely speculative.

Trump couldn't of affected prices, but sleepy, demented Joe.

It's a fact that potential tariffs have drove up prices.

But do you want me to give you a bone? You could say people are buying now in fear of potential future tariffs. I would agree with that. Merry Christmas! Wish us all luck next year. Let me know when Trumpanomics fucks you. You know I will.
