[QUOTE="HDRider, post: 1706549, member: 17025"] That is another lever, and an unfettered one, that can be used against uppity American beef producers. We don't even label where the beef comes form. I wish I could find something more current [INDENT]The United States is the world's largest producer of beef but it also imports more beef than any other country. U.S. producers specialize in raising high-value, grain-fed cattle, while the beef the United States imports from other countries is mainly lower-value, grass-fed, lean product that is processed into ground beef. Overall, imports accounted for nearly 14 percent of U.S. beef supplies in 2015.[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]From 2011-2013, the United States was a net exporter of beef on a volume basis. However, imports surpassed exports in 2014 when domestic production declined nearly six percent.
