Protecting Wyoming Beef Producers

American farmers and ranchers raise the safest and highest quality beef in the world. Consumers know us as their neighbors, friends, and families, whose hard work delivers not only great protein, but also stewards of the animals, land, and water for future generations.

Last week, the federal government quadrupled the amount of beef Argentina can send to the United States with no increased inspection protocols. The Administration got this one wrong. Increasing low-tariff beef imports from Argentina undermines American cattle producers, including many in Wyoming.

Wyoming ranchers should be able to have a strong market to sell their beef free from misguided government intervention.

I am confident Americans will choose domestic beef if they know where it comes from. Wyoming ranchers and farmers need to have the option to label their products as “Wyoming Beef”.

I stand with Wyoming’s ranching and agricultural community.
