Trump Moves to Let Ranchers Process Own Meat

President Donald Trump announced on Friday that his administration will take steps to allow farmers and ranchers to process their own food, a move aimed at breaking the dominance of four major meatpacking companies in the U.S. beef industry. The announcement, made via a post on Truth Social, comes amid growing criticism from agricultural producers over industry consolidation and recent tariff policies. In his statement, Trump described the current market as a "nasty Monopoly" controlled by four companies, which he said makes life miserable for farmers and ranchers.
