Figures to Introduce Bill to Protect Alabama Cattle Farmers from President Trump’s Beef Order

Congressman Shomari C. Figures (AL-02) announced that he plans to introduce legislation to reverse President Trump’s plan to allow up to 300,000 metric tons of foreign ground beef to enter the United States tariff-free over the next 90 days—a move that gives little to no relief to consumers and serves as a significant disadvantage to American cattle farmers.

"President Trump’s proclamation is a slap in the face to the hardworking cattle farmers we have across this nation and here in Alabama. Farmers are already being hammered by Trump’s war in Iran and the retaliatory tariffs he caused, and this reckless decision will make things even worse,” said Congressman Figures.

Video: Season 7, Episode 2: From Data to Decisions in Swine Production

Data can provide a clear picture of trends and performance across a swine farm, but its greatest value comes from putting those insights into action. In this episode, Dr. Edison Magalhães, assistant professor in the department of animal science at Iowa State University, discusses how producers can leverage data to make informed decisions that improve herd performance from birth to market. He highlights the challenges of siloed data across different teams, the impact those gaps can have on performance and the importance of integrating data to gain a more complete picture of herd health and productivity. He also explains the PROSPER (Predictors of Swine Performance) tool, which combines data from multiple sources to help producers better understand herd performance.
