The CEO of R-CALF USA says cattle producers need relief from the USMCA agreement.
Bill Bullard says, “The problem is is that the USMCA is the most damaging trade agreement of all of the multilateral trade agreements we’re involved with.”
Bullard tells Brownfield the USMCA works well for multinational meatpackers, processors, and importers but causes irreparable harm to America’s family farm and ranch cattle producers. “And that’s because we’re importing both beef and live cattle, and then the beef from both of those come out of these are direct substitutes for domestic beef.”
R-CALF USA and 17 other national, state, and regional producer groups sent a letter to U.S.
