A processor doing 5,000 head a year operates under the exact same federal regulatory architecture as a plant doing 5,000 head a day. The compliance cost for a giant packer works out to about 7 cents per animal. The same requirement on a small processor adds $5 per head... before the first steak gets cut. At a rural slaughterhouse, the guy the USDA comes in to do paperwork with is the same guy fixing the refrigeration unit that afternoon. Regulation stops regulating the marketplace. It starts determining who can afford to participate in it. The federal government knows this. USDA launched SPUR, over $500 million to prop up independent processors. Taxpayers are paying hundreds of millions to keep regional plants alive without asking whether federal regulation is making them unnecessarily expensive to operate. Maybe we shouldn't subsidize our way around the problem. Maybe we should fix the problem. That breakdown from Yanasa TV is exactly why I sell beef direct from my own ranch. Skip the cartel entirely.

A $100K compliance cost hits a giant packer at 7 cents a head. It hits a small processor at $5 a head. That's how regulation becomes a moat for the Big 4. USDA just launched SPUR, $500M to prop up independent plants. Why subsidize around a problem you could just fix?

The US beef cow herd just shrank by another 200,000 head. 28.5 million as of July. Down from 28.7 million last year. Bred heifers are selling for $5,000 to $6,000 a head at local sale barns. 15 years ago you could buy one for under a thousand. A bottle calf, the lowest-quality, highest-risk animal in the cattle world, brought $1,500 at auction last week. 41 farms are closing every single day in this country. Not going on hiatus. Gone. Supply keeps shrinking. Demand stays constant. Population grows. The math is not complicated. That breakdown from Rational Ranchers on the July USDA numbers lays it out plain. The feeder calf market is the highest it has ever been. The herd is the smallest it has been in decades. And the people who raise your beef are walking away.

2,500 workers showed up to the beef plant in Joslin, Illinois on a Thursday morning and were told their jobs were over. Immediately. Tyson Foods announced August 13th it was closing the Joslin facility. Not a phased shutdown. Workers were told on the spot. That same week: Eagle Mountain, Utah. Closed. Pasco, Washington. Up for sale. Earlier this year, Lexington, Nebraska. 3,200 jobs gone. A town of 10,000 people lost its economic backbone overnight. The US cattle herd is at a 75-year low. The smallest since 1951. Tyson says there aren't enough cattle to justify running these plants. Beef prices have already climbed 70% over five years. Ground beef over $6 a pound. And now processing capacity is shrinking on top of it. Fewer plants. Fewer workers. Less beef. Higher prices. That is the trajectory. That breakdown from A Homestead Journey laid it out plain. This is why I raise my own and sell direct. When the middle collapses, the people who source locally still eat. Your rancher, Jason Hanley | 208-714-0478

The US cattle herd is at a 75-year low. Ranchers finally started making money. The packers' response? Close plants and import 300,000 tons of foreign beef. As Barn Talk laid out this week, Wall Street firms like BlackRock and State Street control the packer boards. When profits dip, management gets replaced. The only thing that matters is the next quarter's return. So packers shutter smaller plants. Domestic supply tightens. Hamburger gets expensive in an election year. Washington panics and opens the door to 300,000 tons of imported trim. That imported trim keeps the grinders running for the three or four remaining packers. And the rancher? Gets a smaller bid and a clear signal not to expand. This isn't a fix. It's a band-aid that protects packer margins and punishes the producer. The real solution takes at least six years, two full calf cycles. But government runs on two-year election cycles. That's why nothing changes. Direct from ranch cuts out the middleman's game entirely. Your rancher, Jason Hanley | 208-714-0478

Farmer Joel Salatin has a message for President Trump on beef prices. “We don’t need … grants.” “What we need is freedom.” “We should be able to engage in a food transaction without asking a bureaucrat’s permission!” And Rep. Thomas Massie has delivered a solution. He wrote the PRIME Act with the late Senator Frank Niceley during a visit to Salatin’s farm in 2015. Now, Democratic Rep. Chellie Pingree has co-sponsored it. “This is not … red vs. blue.” “It just says if the farmer and the processor and the consumer all live in the same state, you don’t need the federal government’s permission to have that transaction.” The latest version of the 2026 Farm Bill includes a pilot program of the PRIME Act, enabling states to adopt this model of local regulation over federal intervention. Salatin summarizes this issue perfectly. All we need is freedom. Across the board. Freedom for local farmers to sell their food without federal intervention. Freedom to make our own medical decisions. Freedom from pesticides in our food supply. Freedom from fluoride in our drinking water. Freedom from chemicals raining down from jet fuel exhaust. Thomas Massie Joel Salatin Congresswoman Chellie Pingree

The FDA pulled over-the-counter antibiotics off the shelf in 2023 and made ranchers get a vet's permission to treat their own animals. LA 200, the broad-spectrum oxytetracycline that sat at every feed store for decades, now requires a prescription. A rancher with 300 sheep waited three months for a vet to fill the order. Got 50 milliliters. That treats one cow. Pinkeye in cattle. Foot rot in sheep. Copperhead bites. Conditions that need fast treatment. Every day you wait on a prescription, the animal suffers. USDA designates hundreds of veterinary shortage areas across the country. The nearest large-animal vet might be two hours away. The FDA's answer is to call one and wait. That breakdown from Rational Ranchers lays it out. The people feeding this country can't get basic medicine without jumping through hoops that don't exist where they live. That's exactly why I manage my herd health proactively and sell direct. Cut out every middleman that stands between my cattle and your freezer. Your rancher, Jason Hanley | 208-714-0478

Half the soybeans grown in America get exported to markets that are shrinking every year. China has a 10-year plan to stop depending on US imports entirely. Almost half the corn grown in this country goes into ethanol. Goes into your gas tank. Does not feed a single person or a single animal. The subsidized cropping system in the US is dramatically oversupplied. Farmers growing crops the market does not want. Losing $100 an acre on soybeans. Losing $50 to $100 an acre on corn. And demanding bailouts to keep doing it. Meanwhile, the US beef cow herd is the lowest it has been since 1950. Beef prices have tripled in five years. Baby calves at auction are bringing $1,500 a head. A 1,000-acre soybean farm losing $100 an acre could convert to intensive cattle grazing for $300,000. One time. That same farm spends $300,000 every single year just to plant soybeans. One is a lifetime investment. The other is an annual hole in the ground. That breakdown from Palisades Gold Radio on YouTube lays it out plain. The math is not complicated. I'd rather own land that feeds people than collect checks to grow what nobody needs.

David Friedberg: Higher Interest Rates Are About to Make America’s $40 Trillion Debt Problem Much Worse “The federal government has a problem because over the next 12 months they have to refinance $10 trillion of debt. That debt is coming due. Those bonds are now due. They have to pay the principal back to the bond holders, and they have to go back to the treasury market and sell more treasuries to borrow more money to refinance. So the borrowing cost now is going to climb up, and when that borrowing cost climbs up, the federal government's burn goes up and the fiscal deficit goes up. So my theory and my argument on this is: There is no action that Bessent can take that's actually going to have a meaningful effect on the long end of the curve. We have a fundamental fiscal spending problem with the federal government right now. It is very expensive now to borrow money if you're the US federal government. And the reason is persistent inflation, I would argue because of excess government spending on social programs and other things. And the big problem at this point is the federal government is spending so much that if they were to cut spending aggressively, the argument and the concern is it would hit unemployment and it would cause a recession because the federal government is such an intricate part of the economy now. That's the argument. But it's causing inflation, and it's causing deficit spending. So this year the deficit will be roughly $2 trillion. And as a result, the market is saying, ‘We're worried about the US fiscal solvency over the long run, or there's a higher risk. As a result, we're going to charge you a higher interest, 5.2% on the 30 year.’ What does this mean for the federal government? Well, today, the federal government's average cost of debt is 3.4%. That's what we're paying on interest on average on the $40 trillion of debt that the federal government has outstanding. For every 1% change in the interest rate, the US government has to pay 1.25% of GDP in excess interest each year. 1.25% of GDP in interest each year for that 1% change in the interest rate.”

Palisades Gold Radio on YouTube just laid it out. Joel Salatin says the US beef cow herd is at its lowest since 1950. Soybean farmers are losing $100 an acre and getting bailed out. A five-day-old calf now costs $1,500. China has a 10-year plan to stop depending on US soybeans entirely. Half our corn goes to ethanol. Half our soybeans get exported. The whole system runs on subsidies and soil destruction. This is exactly why I raise my own cattle and sell direct. The commodity food chain is a rigged game.

James Talarico is running around Texas pitching the warm, fuzzy idea that every religion is just a different "pathway" to the exact same fundamental truth. They're NOT. We can still be courteous to each other, but that's not the same as having the same truth. When anyone tries to sell you this version of "unity," they are asking you to throw out the God that has a name, the God who deals with you as an individual, and replace Him with a meaningless average. Because the average of everything is NOTHING. You are going to hear this exact narrative pushed in your own community, your own church, and your own life. THIS is how to stand against it.

CVS just settled its latest fraud case, and for once the fine was big enough to actually hurt. It cost them $440 million, and as a bonus it bankrupted the guilty subsidiary and forced CVS to sell it off. The company was Omnicare, a pharmacy that supplies medications to nursing homes and other long-term care facilities. CVS bought it in 2015. That same year, a former Omnicare pharmacist filed a whistleblower lawsuit, and the Justice Department joined the case in 2019. The scheme was simple and it ran for years. Omnicare kept dispensing drugs on stale, expired prescriptions and billing the government for them over and over. From 2010 to 2018 that added up to more than 3.3 million false claims and about $135.6 million in overpayments from taxpayers. A federal jury reached its verdict in April 2025. The judge did not mince words, calling it deliberate, egregious, and a very big fraud on the government. Then came the math that made it sting. Under the False Claims Act, damages get tripled. So that $135.6 million ballooned to $406.8 million, and the government asked for another $542 million in penalties on top. The court entered a total judgment of about $948.8 million. CVS ultimately agreed to pay $440 million to resolve it, with the first chunk due almost immediately. Here is the part that makes this different from every other settlement. The penalty was not a rounding error the company could shrug off as the cost of doing business. It broke the unit that did the fraud. Omnicare filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September 2025, and earlier this year CVS announced it is selling Omnicare to a company called GenieRx. So a business CVS bought in 2015 is now being sold off in the wreckage of its own fraud case. That is the lesson. It is actually possible to make a fine big enough to change behavior instead of just becoming a line item. Now we just have to scale that up. But honestly, why wait on fines at all? There is already a faster tool sitting right there. When an individual violates the False Claims Act, they can lose the privilege of participating in federal programs like Medicare. Imagine how quickly the fraud would vanish if that same exclusion got applied to the giant repeat offenders who keep doing this. Kick them off the program and watch how fast the behavior changes. While we wait for that day, here is my pitch. We built a pharmacy where it is literally impossible to pull this kind of thing, because you see the price before you pay it. No hidden claims, no secret markups, no middleman in a position to overbill anyone. Just the real number, up front. Imagine that.

I got the chance to talk to an Certified Angus Beef rep and here's something that might interest you. Regular tube ground beef is up to 40% cheek and head meat with a USDA cap of 25% on cheek meat. Ever wonder why some ground beef really needs sauce and seasoning to hook it up? That's why. Ground beef made from neck down is so much more flavorful. Buy it if you can afford it. Or grind it yourself. You can use a food processor and grind up your own ground beef. Chop a chuck roast or even short ribs up into tiny pieces and pulse it until fine in your processor. You can really taste the difference! This is short rib in the video below.

This man is selling the place he grew up in. Nearly 60 years old, never lived anywhere else, and he feels like a stranger in his own town. At I think about this a lot, because the same outside capital that's pricing locals out of their communities is doing the exact same thing to independent ranchers in the food system. Out-of-state cash buyers flooded the Sun Belt and drove home prices up 70% in five years. The locals who built those communities couldn't compete. The big four meatpackers did the same thing to processing infrastructure, buying up capacity until independent ranchers had nowhere to take their animals without going through someone else's bottleneck. Same mechanism. Different industry. Same result. This man's answer is to sell high and start over somewhere the math still works. That's a legitimate move. But the culture he's mourning doesn't come back once it's gone, and neither does the processing capacity, and neither do the independent ranchers once consolidation finishes the job. I raise beef, pork, lamb, and chicken with no hormones, no antibiotics, and no vaccines, sold straight to you. Every direct sale is a reason for ranchers like me to stay put. Call or text me at 208-714-0478 if you want to buy from someone who's still here. Your rancher, Jason Hanley

“It is $5,000 per Albertan that every single year gets transferred out of this province for political reasons so that the Liberals can continue to spend it in places that vote Liberal.” Same leftist playbook everywhere. Steal from productive people and bribe the non-productive to keep you in power. A soft solution is that only productive individuals should be allowed to vote. But to solve the problem of parasitism in society once and for all, the welfare State must be destroyed.

The US imports more goat meat than we produce. Our national herd is 2.5 million head and that's still not enough to feed domestic demand. A rancher running 300 head of meat goats in the Ozarks says it's "pretty hard not to make money" with them. The most popular breed, the Boer, is also the highest maintenance. Worst parasite resistance. Fastest hoof growth. Needs the most care. The toughest breed, the Spanish goat, doesn't carry the weight. The Kiko sits in the middle. Good parasite resistance. Big enough to hit that 75-lb market sweet spot. If you can keep your animals alive and healthy, the demand is already there and domestic supply can't fill it.

A rancher running 300 head of meat goats in the Ozarks says it's "pretty hard not to make money" with them. The most popular breed, the Boer, is also the highest maintenance. Worst parasite resistance. Fastest hoof growth. Needs the most care. The toughest breed, the Spanish goat, doesn't carry the weight. The Kiko sits in the middle. Good parasite resistance. Big enough to hit that 75-lb market sweet spot. If you can keep your animals alive and healthy, the demand is already there and domestic supply can't fill it.

WOW 🚨 The nonprofit who owns the billing codes used by our medical system and gets paid $300 million per year in royalties ALSO SETS THE PRICE OF MEDICAL SERVICES for those codes American surgeon “It feels ridiculous because we as healthcare providers have to use those codes according to state and federal government, and the AMA created them, copyrighted them, and charges us, the people that they're representing, to use them. So let's go one step further. The CPT code system is meant to be this five-digit code that is a universal language for documenting and reporting for all the things that we do in healthcare back to insurance companies, right and ultimately, that affects reimbursement. But here's a wrinkle that you might not have known. The AMA also actually makes a recommendation to the government about a value that's assigned to the CPT codes that they own. That's right. They own the system. They're making money off of that, and then they're also recommending back to CMS and ultimately to insurance companies how much doctors and providers are paid for those codes. That is quite a lot of power for one organization to hold over the money that's exchanged in this healthcare system. So they're making that three hundred million dollars a year licensing it, but then they're also influencing what I get paid for everything that I do. Interesting…..” - US government made using these codes mandatory - A nonprofit who donates millions to politicians on both sides was able to keep the copyright - That group collects hundreds of millions a year from the people required to use it - The same group runs the committee that recommends the dollar values attached to those codes The people who could change this, our politicians, are being paid off not to change it This is a racket

You invoke the reaction that you need from the people who will then beg you to give the solution for the very same problem they created." "From Covid to mass immigration to the digital ID.

American farmers can sell you an entire live cow. But they can’t sell you a single steak from that same cow unless it was processed under federal inspection. Joel Salatin says decades of regulation have decimated the small, local slaughterhouses that once served farming communities across America. “Our county had a dozen small slaughterhouse operations.” “Many of them were located on farms, and it was just a farmer who enjoyed doing this or somebody in his family enjoyed doing this, and they would just do it kind of for the community.” “But this has all been shut down.” “You can’t sell meat.” “You can sell a live animal.” “But you can’t sell a cut of a T-bone steak, a rib eye, a pound of ground beef from an animal, from any beef, pork, lamb, or goat, unless it’s processed under federal inspection.” Joel Salatin Polyface Farm

New Jersey Assemblywoman Dawn Fantasia LOSES IT on Democrats passing illegal immigration laws “For the love of God and all that is good. Can you differentiate between the fact that we don't make laws that control the federal government? My God, what are we doing here? I'm not a lawyer. I was an English teacher and I comprehend that my fifth grade middle school English students would understand it. I am coming to you not from a point of ideology because I know in the minority party, we already lost that argument. You guys are way, way out in the ether with that. I'm not even hoping to win the ideology. I'm hoping to win the logical argument to say, why do we keep passing laws that are gonna end up in court? We lose and the taxpayer gets shafted over and over and over. You cannot vote yes for a law that controls local, county, state, and federal. No, Federal has gotta come off for this to count, but the only reason why you're passing it is to affect federal agents — Don't a room full of lawyers understand. Ludicrous. Oh my goodness”
