Ricketts: Instead of Importing More Foreign Beef, Let’s Work on “Market-Based Solutions”

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE) released the following statement urging the Trump administration to prioritize market-based solutions supporting Nebraska beef instead of importing more foreign beef: “This administration’s efforts to encourage Americans to consume more beef and expand grazing on federal lands are welcome. This helps Nebraska. We should be working on market-based solutions. Moving to import more Argentine beef at this time will set farmers and ranchers back. I urge the administration to reconsider its plans.”
