Now is the time American consumers need to support the American farmers and ranchers by buying local in the next 90 days.
Whether you buy direct from farm like Blue Barn Beef, butcher shops or grocery stores if they can prove its American RAISED beef.
President Donald Trump says the United States will allow up to 300,000 metric tons of ground beef to be imported without an out-of-quota tariff for the next 90 days.
Trump announced the move Friday on Truth Social, saying the deal is intended to substantially lower ground beef prices for working American families while giving the U.S. cattle herd time to rebuild.
The post read: "Today, I concluded a deal to substantially lower the price of ground beef for working American families. As everyone knows, under President Biden, beef prices soared at their fastest rate and the American beef herd fell to its smallest size in modern history. As we work to rebuild this herd and help our ranchers, for the next 90 days, the United States will allow up to 300,000 metric tons of product for ground beef to be imported with no out of quota tariff. We have a commitment that this beef will be sold at 25 percent below current market prices. This deal will reduce prices for Americans while giving space for our Great American Beef Herd to grow again. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
