Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The high cost of diesel, which is linked to actions by Donald Trump, is increasing operational expenses for ranchers. While calf prices have risen, they have not kept pace with inflation, making it difficult for ranchers to maintain profitability.
