Cattle in central Nebraska (Brian Neben, Central Nebraska Today)
NEBRASKA — Nebraska lawmakers reacted after President Trump signed an executive order permitting an increase of Argentine beef imports.
U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-NE) released the following statement in support of Nebraska’s cattle ranchers after President Trump signed an executive order permitting an increase of Argentine beef imports into U.S. grocery stores:
“Nebraska produces the world’s best beef. Instead of imports that sideline American ranchers, we should be focused on solutions that cut red tape, lower production costs, and support growing our cattle herd.”
Congressman Adrian Smith (NE-03), a senior member of the House Ways and Means Committee and Chair of the Trade Subcommittee, released the following statement after President Trump signed an executive order permitting increased imports of Argentine beef amid historically low U.S. cattle inventories:
“No matter the conditions, ranchers in Nebraska’s Third District lead the nation in producing high-quality, affordable beef. Now more than ever, we must deliver policies which drive confidence in the market, eliminate burdensome regulations, and lower production costs. While the United States holds historic low-inventory in cattle herds, we must focus on policies that strengthen the market and create long-term certainty for the entire supply chain.”
