WyFB Statement on Proclamation on Beef Imports

Wyoming Farm Bureau Federation President Todd Fornstrom commented on the presidential proclamation issued August 26 by President Trump that allows beef imports to increase by more than 660 million pounds – over a 90-day period.

“This decision is disappointing. We urge the President to consider the impacts it will have on American consumers and American beef producers and reverse this decision. Increased beef imports will not reduce the price the consumer pays at the retail counter and disrupts the American beef market.”
