Cattle were high before Trump was president.

Only 3 more loooooooong years and then you can blame a different one that fiddles with commodities.

With any luck we will get a conservative president for the first time in my life.

At least we finally have a President that understands business. The US Gubmint is the biggest business in the world.

I appreciate his immigration policy and sinking cartel boats. He's far better than Kamala, he's not conservative though and he's currently on the warpath with the few Republicans that are which may actually turn out to be a good thing for Conservatives.

How can Trump affect the beef market?

paraphrasing Trump said "Beef prices are to high, were working on that, I think we have a deal"

I'm assuming/hoping he comes out Monday and clarifies his comments because right now the market is wondering what the heck is going on.

I am thinking prices in Iowa have been different than in Northern WI then. While higher over the past four years they have doubled in the past year plus. In puts over that time were high as well so the profit margin was still small. As I stated previously Trump is not the reason for high beef prices. Supply is low and not going to rebound quickly, drought, retirements, screw worm in mexico.

Trump has sure had an effect on the soybean market.

Good lord. $6 or $7 a pound for hamburger is getting a bit ridiculous.

Well he is 100% correct beef prices are high. Lowering them would be good for people that want to buy beef.
The market will sort its self out when priced drive demand down prices will follow.

I can't think of a deal that can be made that will benefit American producers. I could be mistaken bu sounds like a deal would be made outside the US to increbsupply for less driving done prices making our producers compete with lowere prices at out required higher production cost. Its a lot more expensive to produce things in the US with all our government regs and red tape.
Maybe his deal will be reducing the red tape effectively lowering cost.

Sounds like he’s suggesting purchasing a bunch of beef from Argentina to increase supply in US to drive prices down. Lucky American producers. Lol

Soybeans 11/4/2024= 9.88-----------------soybeans today,10/20/25= 10.28, are you suggesting a positive affect?

We are lucky he put tariffs on canadian organic corn, US price went up 2 bucks a bushel. We are lucky he put tariffs on canadian plywood and lumber, dairy products etc., I would say for the most Americans things are going rather well. Notice our leader isnt going to canada for relief, quite the opposite.

but a coffee at the gas station is 2.40$, you can not eat at any fastfood for under 10$, property taxes are up 300% in last 15 years, Insurance rates up 100% in last 3 years. I think 7$ burger is a deal.

There are times the haters fail to have the facts before they start crying.

Yep, what a clownshow.

I sell freezer beef. I can seem to get people to buy 1/2 a steer or even 1/4 steer. They don't have the money. Now it's spilling over to pigs. I am taking 4 to market next week. 2 are sold but two have no home yet. Never had this before. These are pasture raised nice and fat and healthy.

You ever hear of Wesley Mouch? Who does’t love central planning?

That might be a price but our local elevators aren’t buying any
