Agriculture Secretary brooke Rollins supported the initiative,highlighting the importance of American beef for national security and vowing upcoming actions to facilitate farmers&#8217; market access,streamline regulations,and boost small meat processors. Beck,a rancher himself,promoted the idea during his podcast,suggesting that reducing federal regulations could enable farmers to process their own meat more effectively. The declaration comes amidst controversy over recent imports of foreign beef and concerns from farm-state Republicans who argue that foreign competitors like Argentina could undercut U.S.producers.this policy shift aims to empower farmers and ranchers, promote domestic food processing, and address market fairness amid the upcoming midterm elections.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"4\">Donald Trump<\/a> announced he was deregulating meat processing for farmers and ranchers after conservative media personality <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/glenn-beck\/\">Glenn Beck<\/a> encouraged him to do so earlier this week during a live interview.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRanchers and Farmers have always been a number one priority for me,\u201d Trump wrote on Truth Social on Friday. \u201cThey work very hard, are smart, efficient, and immaculately CLEAN, but for years I have heard that they have had a tremendous problem with the Big Processors, who many say are a nasty Monopoly.\u201d<\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4703958\/glenn-beck-trump-farmers-ranchers\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Glenn Beck interview prompts Trump to allow farmers and ranchers to process their own food<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4703920\/trump-administration-plans-sale-sliver-yosemite-private-company\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Trump administration plans to sell sliver of Yosemite to private company: Report<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4703773\/trump-to-honor-9-11-at-pentagon-after-nyc-memorial-forbids-speech-report\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Trump to honor 9\/11 at Pentagon after NYC memorial forbids speech: Report<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump criticized the top, \u201cvery non competitive\u201d meat processors \u2014 JBS S.A., Tyson Foods, Cargill, and Smithfield Foods \u2014 for making \u201clife miserable for our wonderful Farmers and Ranchers.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-15\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI can\u2019t let that happen, can I?\u201d he asked. \u201cSo, in order to break this powerful monopoly, with much of its ownership based outside of the U.S., I am authorizing legal documents to be drawn in order to allow Farmers and Ranchers to be given the right to PROCESS THEIR OWN FOOD.
