What happened
Donald Trump announced a plan allowing up to 300,000 metric tons of foreign ground beef into the country over 90 days, lifting out-of-quota tariffs and requiring the imported beef to be sold 25 percent below current market rates. Separately, farmers in North Dakota reported that a federal rule from the Fish and Wildlife Service prevents them from installing underground agricultural drainage tiles near protected federal easements, causing financial harm.

Why it matters
North Dakota leaders warn that the tariff-free beef import plan could devastate local livestock producers by flooding the market with cheap imports. Furthermore, the FWS policy is criticized by farmers as interfering with their property rights and hindering their ability to grow food.
