Ep. 205: Bailing out Argentina While Subsidizing Cattle? What is the U.S. thinking?!?

In this hard-hitting episode of Talk Dirt to Me, we dive deep into some of the most controversial issues shaking American agriculture right now. The U.S. government is considering subsidizing the cattle industry, and cattlemen across the country are calling it a terrible idea. We break down why this move could backfire, distort the beef market, and hurt ranchers long-term.
We also discuss how the United States is preparing to bail out Argentina, one of our biggest competitors in the global soybean market. What does it mean for row crop farmers, U.S. soybean prices, and the already struggling American ag economy? Are we essentially cutting our own throats by funding a competitor?
On top of that, we answer a wide range of listener Q&As from cattle production to row crop farming. If you are a farmer, rancher, or ag entrepreneur looking for real talk about what is happening in agriculture right now, this episode is for you.
