The Iowa Cattlemen’s Association released a statement about President Donald Trump’s comments regarding US Cattle Producers and the increase of beef imports from Argentina.

The Association says, “President Trump’s reaction to the cattle industry’s comments regarding his plan to import additional Argentine beef is disconcerting. This administration needs to know and recognize that words matter. Through President Trump’s continued rhetoric regarding beef prices, he continues to create undue harm to U.S. cattle producers, inhibiting their ability to make smart marketing decisions that directly impact their long-term profitability.”

As this story continues to unfold, the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association will remain diligent in advocating on behalf of their members and making their voices heard.
