Trump Faces Down Beef Backlash. Will Import Plan Pay Off?

By: AOL – September 5, 2026

“The odds of this deal lowering prices and helping ranchers are about zero. If there's something that reduces beef prices for consumers, by definition, that reduces the dollars going back into the industry, because the price clearing the market for retail beef is lower, and therefore one has to pause and say, is that good for producers?”

Why farmers are fuming – Lake County Record-Bee

By: Santa Maria Times – September 5, 2026

"It's just a massive shock to our markets… A second act of betrayal has been Trump's war on immigrants, documented and undocumented, who provide the bulk of farm labor.”

As the US and Canada Slap New Tariffs on Goods, American Farmers Are Stuck in the Middle

By: WPR – September 8, 2026

“Trade data tells a different story — especially for farmers and agriculture-related manufacturers. Canada bought $28 billion in U.S. agricultural goods last year, making it the second-largest export market behind Mexico. It’s not really about winning or losing here. I think ultimately the heat is going to be felt by Americans.”

Wyoming Ranchers Struggling Amid Drought, Higher Costs And New Pressures from Beef Imports

By: CBS News – September 7, 2026

“The tariff plan won't do much to lower prices for U.S. consumers, given that the amount of beef represents about 2% of what Americans consume. But it could hurt U.S. ranchers by discouraging them from rebuilding their herds, which could keep beef supplies in short supply.

If we continue down the road of importing beef, that's going to continue to create risk and uncertainty for producers.”

A Fair Deal: Which Ag Lease Agreement is Right For You?

By: Agrinews – Septmeber 8, 2026

“The lease structure you choose can change your farm’s risk, cash flow and upside — even when long-run returns look surprisingly similar. Over the past 20 years, no single lease type consistently outperformed the others. But depending on when you were in each lease, returns could differ by more than $100 per acre in a given year — yes, $100 per acre in a given year. So, the real question isn’t which lease is best. It’s which lease matches your risk tolerance?”

Can the Next Generation Afford to Farm in California?

By: Comstock Mag – September 8, 2026

“Farming has become more complicated, and the rewards have not grown, at least for the small farm operator. It takes more resources to make a living. For a long time, farmers were poor people and doing all the work themselves. These days you are a smart, hardworking person and those people can do something else. Could be a banker or trust fund manager.”
