Farmer Mike Callicrate exposed that the USDA has been completely corrupted by the big meat packers for decades. “We’ve had leadership like Almanza, [who] let rotten meat in the United States and then went to work for the guys that provided it, the Batista Brothers with JBS.” “We’ve never...

“We’ve lost 86,000 cattle feeders like me.” “Over half of our cow-calf producers are gone.” Farmer Mike Callicrate just delivered an urgent plea to Congress: “Break up the corporate middlemen who are extracting an unfair share of the retail dollar while denying a fair income to producers and workers.” “Since I first got into the cattle industry in 1972, retail meat prices have become increasingly disconnected from cattle prices as monopolistic middlemen push producer prices lower and consumer prices higher.” “The producers’ share of the consumer dollar is now around 50% in beef, down from around 80% in 1970, when we had a lot of independent meat packers all over the country working with independent grocery stores.” “What can be done?” “We need to reform USDA’s meat inspection service to make it more workable for small processing plants.” “Invest in local regional food infrastructure and outlaw government purchasing of meat from large, multinational and foreign-owned corporations.” “That business should go to small and mid-sized slaughter plants, keeping the wealth from agriculture local, creating jobs, and revitalizing rural communities.” “We’re now relying on imports at a time when dietary guidelines are re-emphasizing high quality protein.” “Small plants like mine need fair food policy.” “Small processors have essentially no access to wholesale markets due to unfair advantages and predatory practices of big food companies.” “It’s past time to enforce antitrust laws and break up the meat monopolies like Congress did in the 1920s.” “Otherwise, consumer prices will remain disconnected from prices paid to producers, and will likely keep rising.” Mike Callicrate

The Big 4 Meat Packers in America linked to lobbying US Politicians for looser immigration policies. They then hire those illegals for cheap labor at their plants The North American Meat Institute (NAMI), the primary lobbying arm for the meatpacking industry, represents major companies like Tyson Foods, JBS USA, Cargill, and National Beef lobbied for immigration reform to make it easier to hire immigrants - Tyson was indicted (though later acquitted) on charges of conspiring to smuggle illegal immigrants to work at its plants - JBS USA, Cargill, and National Beef, as members of NAMI, they are represented in industry-wide lobbying efforts that support access to immigrant labor

Former USDA Scientist turned Whistleblower says he grinds his own hamburger meat because he doesn’t trust our grocery store meat because of ‘Pink Slime’ Here’s what’s going to really blow your mind. In 2018 the USDA approved a reclassification of pink slime as “ground beef,” meaning it can be present in any state where ground beef is processed or sold without specific labeling, as it no longer requires disclosure as a separate ingredient “This former USDA scientist, now whistleblower, knows that 70% of the ground beef we buy at the supermarket contains something he calls pink slime. Beef trimmings that were once used only in dog food and cooking oil, now sprayed with ammonia to make them safe to eat, and then added to most ground beef as a cheaper filler. It was Zernstein who in a USDA memo first coined the term pink slime, and is now coming forward to say, he won't buy it. It's economic fraud. It's not fresh ground beef. It's a cheap substitute being added in. Zernstein and his fellow USDA scientist Carl Custer both warned against using what the industry calls lean, finely textured beef and is widely known now as pink slime. But their government bosses overruled them. Why didn't you consider it beef? Because it was a salvage product. Leftovers fat that had been Heated at low temperature and the excess fat spun out. Here's how it's done. Those waist trimmings are gathered, simmered at low heat to make it easier to separate fat from muscle, put in a centrifuge and spun to finish the separation. Next, the mixture is sent through pipes where it's sprayed with ammonia gas to kill bacteria and finally compressed into bricks and flash frozen for shipment to meat packers and grocery stores where it's added to most ground beef. And it doesn't have to appear on the label because over objections of its own scientists, USDA officials with links to the beef industry labeled pink slime meat.”

BREAKING: Trump’s USDA just postponed a major reform designed to empower poultry farmers against corporate monopolies. It was set to go into effect in July. Now, it’s postponed to December 2027. We fully supported this rule that would fix the broken “tournament system” used by corporations that dominate the poultry industry to pit small farmers against each other. Journalist Christopher Leonard broke down everything you need to know about the tournament system and why it needs to be reformed: “Just two companies, Tyson Foods and Pilgrim’s Pride—and Pilgrim’s is owned by JBS—control about half of the [poultry] market.” “And it’s not just that so few companies control it today.” “This business is vertically integrated.” “A company like Tyson Foods, for example, owns the feed mill, they own the slaughterhouse, they own the trucking line, they own the hatchery, and they work with farmers under contract.” “When we have an industry that’s consolidated like it is today, we see an old playbook that monopolies use to extract more profit than ever.” And the “most notorious” mechanism they use to extract profit and dominate the industry is the “payment regime that’s called the tournament system.” “These poultry companies… take information on all the farmers that deliver chickens during a given week, and then they rank the farmers against each other based on how fat those birds got on the amount of feed that the farmer was given.” “The companies will give a higher price per pound to the top performers and a lower price per pound to the lower performers whose birds didn’t gain as much weight.” “In a way, that sounds like your typical bonus system, but here’s the key: the bonus for the top performers is actually taken away from the pay of the lower performers.” This now-postponed USDA reform would have banned payment deductions from lower-performing farmers, eliminating these corporations’ key tool to pit small farmers against one another. We strongly urge the USDA to re-commit to implementing this reform by July 2026 for the sake of small farmers, who are struggling more than ever in the face of price spikes as a result of geopolitical conflict.

🚨Under the Federal Meat Inspection Act, ranchers can’t sell their own beef across state lines without USDA inspection — full stop. It doesn’t matter how well you know the rancher or how locally it was processed. That label that reads “NOT FOR SALE” means exactly what it says. As Breeauna Sagdal put it: ‘So not only can I not process it myself… I have to enter into an agreement with JBS, Cargill, or Tyson.’ Which raises a fair question: is this actually about food safety, or does it just funnel independent producers into the arms of a handful of meat-packing giants?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Daniel Horowitz

For just $0.63 cents per pork chop — this guy just showed the smartest budget hack I’ve seen in a long time. He picked up a whole boneless pork loin from the store for only $15.82 (just under 8 pounds). Then he sliced it himself into thick, beautiful pork chops — 25 of them total, each one roughly 5 ounces and about ¾ inch thick. That brings the cost down to just $0.63 cents per chop. Sometimes the cheapest way to fill your fridge and freezer with meat isn’t buying the pre-cut stuff — it’s buying the whole cut and doing a little work yourself. Have you ever bought a whole pork loin (or any big cut of meat) and cut it up at home to save money? What’s your best bulk-meat hack right now?

Tiffany Cianci is the second person this week to allege that Susie Wiles has crushed MAHA. “She was a huge lobbyist and negotiated all of Pfizer’s demands during Covid.” “To pacify the donor base, [Susie Wiles said] we’re going to give Bobby Kennedy HHS, we’re going to plant a bunch of … people around him to roadblock him, then we’re going to put agrochemical lobbyists in charge of the EPA, and we’re going to put a bunch of lobbyist darlings for industrial food companies in charge of the USDA.” “Then we’re going to consolidate more power, which is why our food costs are skyrocketing.” “Nobody’s talking about doing anything about the monopoly that is limiting our ability to have access to clean meat in this country.” “And now we’re going to buy it from Argentina.” “If we had put somebody that was actually MAHA-alined and wanted us to have access to clean, healthy eating over at the USDA … we could be making massive differences right now.” “Instead, we gave the people a carrot in Bobby, and then cut him off at the knees with the agencies he needed to work with.” “It’s horrifying to watch.”

It is now the seventh day – something that has never happened before – of an emergency situation at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. Because of Russian shelling, the plant has been cut off from power, disconnected from the electrical grid, and is being supplied with electricity by diesel generators. This is extraordinary. The generators and the plant were not designed for this, have never operated in this mode for long, and we already have information that one generator has failed. It is Russian shelling that prevents repair of the power lines to the plant and the restoration of basic safety. This is a threat to everyone – no terrorist in the world has ever dared to do to a nuclear plant what Russia is doing. And it is right that the world does not stay silent.

The meat market has been flipped on its head in just a matter of decades. Power has shifted from ranchers to a monopolized meatpacking system. “90% of cattle raised in the US come from small to medium-sized independent producers, but we only have half as many American cattle ranchers today as we had in the 1980s.” “And while that number has shrunk, the meatpacking industry has consolidated.” “Just 4 major packers dominate the market: JBS, National Beef, Cargill, and Tyson.” “So in 1980, the cattle producers received 63 cents of every consumer beef dollar and the meatpackers and retailers had to share 37 cents.” “Jump to 2021. That allocation of the consumer beef dollar has been completely flipped on its head because the marketplace is fundamentally broken.” More Perfect Union

RANCHERS’ MARKETS HAVE BEEN GUTTED! Mike Callicrate went from 20 buyers to 1. His market was intentionally erased. A “good-size” independent ranch used to have options. Twenty packers bidding meant price discovery. It meant leverage. It meant survival. Now the feeders are 100,000-head concrete cities, and independents are called “small” like it’s a character flaw instead of a policy outcome. Mike Callicrate didn’t lose markets because he failed. He lost them because consolidation worked exactly as designed. When twenty buyers collapse to zero, that’s not efficiency. That’s market deletion. “Lack of market access” is the clean phrase. The honest one is this: the exits were welded shut while the cartel called it progress. Ranchers didn’t disappear. The buyers did — by design. Beef Initiative🇺🇸🇸🇻BeefMaps.com More Perfect Union

American Cattle Rancher Exposing That Beef Sold In American Grocery Stores Doesn’t Look Like Natural Beef “They pump gases into the packaging that artificially create a red color — the color of the meat doesn't necessarily indicate it's fresh” “I get a lot of questions sometimes like when people buy our meat they're like, well, I opened it up and it's not red. Why isn't it red? And the reason is, is because the only way to keep it red is as they pump gases into the packaging that artificially create a red color. So the meat naturally is never that red. When you cut it and it's first exposed to oxygen momentarily, it will bloom. It's called, it'll redden up just a little bit and then it'll instantly start to brown out unless you pump gases into the packaging for about 10 minutes and artificially create this like red pinkish color. So we get that question a lot. And it's like, they're like, your meat's not fresh because it's brown. It's like, well, actually it's way fresher. Our meat is brown because five minutes later, it turns to that brown color and then we flash freeze it. So you're like eating meat that's like metabolic at five minutes old versus that red fresh meat in the grocery store might be a month old. And it sat like that, but they're using artificial gases in that packaging to crea completely unnatural. — If your packaged meat then it is it is filled w to create that. It doesn' look like that. But like believe it or not, it's been sitting out for 11 days. So how could it still look so fresh? It's because it's being packed and gassed in a special process that most people never heard about, using carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen, which keeps the meat looking fresh and bright red. We left two cuts of lamb out at room temperature. One was gas packed, the other, no gas. After a few days, the untreated meat turns a dark, unappealing color. But the gas-packed meat stays red, even after being left out for eight days. The only visible sign of spoilage is the package puffing out and a bad odor when opened. We had the meat analyzed in a lab, and it's no surprise that both cuts are loaded with bacteria. The color of the meat doesn't necessarily indicate it's fresh”

USDA Allows 'Product of USA' Labels On Grass Fed Beef That Never Lived On American Soil. Almost 90% Of American Market Grass Fed Beef Is Imported From 20+ Foreign Countries. Once The Foreign Meat Enters The US, Repackaging It Makes It 'Legal' To Qualify As A 'Product Of USA.' The elimination of country of origin labeling for meat caused American producers’ share of the grass fed cattle market to decline from 60% to less than 15% in just a few years. In 2015, the Obama administration’s USDA rolled back Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) for beef & pork products, allowing meat to be sold without disclosing what country it came from, on the label. Under current rules, beef & pork products that are shipped to the United States can be labeled “product of U.S.A.,” even when the animal was raised on another continent. A steer that is born, raised & processed in Uruguay can be cut into steaks or ground up & repackaged at a meatpacking plant in Colorado & is labeled as American meat—even when it isn’t. "The very idea of labeling beef in a grocery store ‘product of U.S.A.,’ when the animal never drew a breath of air on this continent, is just horrible,” says Will Harris, owner of White Oak Pastures, which produces its branded line of grass-fed beef in Bluffton, Georgia." "I don’t begrudge importers or producers from other countries selling to knowing consumers that want to buy that imported product. But I’m appalled at what the deception has done to the economies of our ranchers." Imported grass fed beef brands are taking advantage of a legal ambiguity—& some are downright deceptive. 3 powerful meatpackers...JBS, Tyson & Cargill, are deceptively using the law that allows use of the “Product of USA” label even when the beef & pork was born, raised & processed in a foreign country. Once the meat enters the U.S. it undergoes repackaging or what the USDA refers to as 'value added.' 'Value Added' is a loophole term that if the foreign beef & pork has been sliced, cut, ground or repackaged on American soil, then it is legally labeled as 'product of the USA.' Now, more than ever, it is crucial for our health & in support of American farmers & ranchers...to buy local, to purchase from small reputable butcher shops & to order from online grass fed beef shipping ranchers. 👇USDA Food Labeling Policy Book👇 👇Foreign Meat Contamination Found In US👇 👇Imported Beef Found To Be Contaminated👇 Speakers: Will & Jenni Harris of White Oak Pastures Video: Investearnsave Podcast: Joe Rogan

'Value Added' is a loophole term that if the foreign beef & pork has been sliced, cut, ground or repackaged on American soil, then it is legally labeled as 'product of the USA.' Now, more than ever, it is crucial for our health & in support of American farmers & ranchers...to buy local, to purchase from small reputable butcher shops & to order from online grass fed beef shipping ranchers. 👇USDA Food Labeling Policy Book👇 👇Foreign Meat Contamination Found In US👇 👇Imported Beef Found To Be Contaminated👇 Speakers: Will & Jenni Harris of White Oak Pastures Video: Investearnsave Podcast: Joe Rogan

'We knew Orbán would not win the election' – Vance. 'One of the reasons we decided to support him was not that we don't know how to read polls. We certainly understood that there was a very high probability that Viktor would lose these elections. We did it because he is one of the few European leaders we have seen who was willing to stand up to the bureaucracy in Brussels, which has been very, very unfavorable to the United States. We did not go because we expected Viktor to easily win the election. We went because it was right to support a man who has long supported us. So it was not about Russia and, essentially, not about Europe. It was about the United States and the fact that he was a good partner – personally for me and for the president, but also for the US. I am sorry that he lost'. - SK

Did you know that Dearborn public schools switched to 100% "halal" meat back in 2019? 100%. There are no normal meat options for non Muslim students. Only meat that's been slaughtered in an Islamic ritual with the animals facing Mecca and Islamic prayers said over them. They actually cited cost issues, claiming the normal meat was potentially contaminating the Islamic/"halal" meat. That their meat was cleaner and healthier anyway. We even discuss the issue using their terms! It's Islamic slaughtered meat, not "halal", which is an Arabic term meaning "permissible." To us? It's just Islamic slaughtered meat. This is the creeping sharia so many warned about for years, now put into practice in a public school without so much as a lawsuit or even much national discussion. No immediate lawsuit by the ACLU or the other nonprofits that spent decades chasing Christianity out of the schools and the public square, no one crying about separation of church and state, merely some comments praising diversity and having "more ethnic options" for students. We're losing our country:

We're lifting the turnover threshold from $2 million to $10 million, so all active small businesses qualify for the 50% capital gains tax discount. That’s in addition to existing generous tax concessions for small businesses that will not change, and new small business supports announced in the Budget. And we're continuing to work with startups to make sure Australia is the best place to build something new. A fair crack for first home buyers, and tax cuts for working people are at the heart of our reforms and that won’t change.

“Pointing an LLM at hundreds of disconnected, ungoverned databases gets you a system that hallucinates, is insecure, and unauditable. For something as consequential as our nation’s agricultural data, that is not just useless — it’s dangerous. The Ontology has been the key to delivering AI-enabled technology to every farmer in the country.” At AIPCon 10, the USDA demonstrates how the Ontology now underpins national food supply security.

Speaking at the WEF, Siemens chairman Jim Hagemann Snabe on the "need" to replace meat-based diets with insect and plant-based diets, in order to "address" the "climate crisis": "Food systems account for around 21% of CO2 emissions... If we reinvent that, we would have zero carbon." "If a billion people stop eating meat, it has a big impact... It will also inspire innovation of food systems." "I predict that we will have proteins not coming from meat in the future. They will probably taste even better, so why are we trying to mimic meat if we can have a better taste? They will be zero carbon, and much healthier than the kind of food that we eat today." On a scale of 0-10, how likely are you to stop eating meat in order to "address" the "climate crisis"?

BIG news for Georgia agriculture! Today, we announced Georgia will become the 11th state to enter into a Cooperative Interstate Shipment agreement with Dept. of Agriculture. For nearly six decades, Georgia’s state-inspected meat processors could only sell their products within the state. Now, eligible small processors will be able to join the FSIS CIS program to ship across all 50 states under the USDA mark of inspection - while maintaining the same rigorous food safety standards Americans expect. This means new markets, new customers, and more freedom for Georgia’s small businesses to grow. Thank you to Congressman Brian Jack, Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Tyler Harper, and all the farmers, ranchers, processors, and local leaders who helped make this possible. When Georgia agriculture wins, America wins. Dept. of AgricultureFoodSafety
