NCBA lobbied for an EID tag mandate and then lobbied for tax payers to pay for the tags. Now there is $15,000,000 just waiting to pay for the tags they are going to force on cattle producers. If you are a member of NCBA, or of any of their affiliates, this is what you are

Unless you want to drive your tractor to the capital in a couple years, like European farmers are now, do not allow carbon emissions to be calculated on your farm or ranch.

2022: Both Tyson and JBS announce record breaking earnings, both with profit margins increasing around 30%.
Approximately 1,200 cattle ranchers go out of business each year.
Incrementalism. Freedom is rarely taken all at once. They take it little by little, bit by bit, so that you don’t realize it’s being taken. This video posted one year and two weeks ago.
Friday the first of many Electronic ID tag mandates to come was made official. The time to
Remember the good old days, a few years back when cattle being bad for the environment was such a ridiculous idea, it was funny. Now that the USDA wants to monitor the emissions of all cattle, it's not so funny anymore.
The real reason corporate lobbyists want electronic ID tags on cattle is to track GHG emissions. Here is what Tyson Foods own ESG report says. Scope 3 is reporting supplier GHG emissions.
If you work in the cattle industry, never forget that NCBA,
@BeefUSA
has committed on your behalf to Net Zero. People are waking up to the biggest scam of modern times.
Net zero isn’t holistic environmentalism. It’s a corporate asset grab that uses draconian control that masquerades as environmentalism to dupe people into facilitating their greed. A gigantic swindle designed to create yet another huge transfer of wealth to the super-rich.
Electronic Identification tags in cattle. The only real change in this mandate is the kind of tag used in cattle that are already mandated to be tagged. No new information will be associated with the tag. No one will be required to have a tag reader. The tags will do nothing to
This year the Beef Checkoff will spend $74,718,807 of cattlemen's dollars, out of that the NCBA will be in charge of $53,118,436. Next time they tell you they are against market mandates, ask them about the mandate they have to take money out of cattlemen's checks.
@BeefCheckoff
2001: 4 years after pleading guilty to giving illegal gifts and cash to the Secretary of Ag, Tyson foods is allowed to buy IBP making them the largest meat packer the world has ever seen.
A slap in the face to all cattlemen and hopefully some will wake up. This is what your checkoff dollars are used for. This is what NCBA dues and affiliate dues are used for. Trying to sneak a way for taxpayers to foot the bill to force electronic ID onto cattlemen is a bitch move
🚨 Hidden in this week’s Omnibus:
Lobbyists got $15 million dollars to implement ELECTRONIC TRACKING of all cattle in the U.S.
No law authorizes this!
It will be used by the GREEN agenda to limit beef production, and by the corporate meat oligopoly to DOMINATE small ranchers.
2011: Tyson Foods is charged with conspiracy and violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, fined $5.2 million for paying off the wives of Mexican Veterinary inspectors.
MUST WATCH:
There are few people in the cattle business that are this knowledgeable about this many topics and even fewer who can explain them as well as Shad

Largest wildfire in history. Ranches completely destroyed. Tens of thousands of cattle dead.

2000’s: Brazil’s JBS spends $20 billion buying up meat processing corporations around the world.
2007: JBS purchases the third largest beef packer in the U.S. Swift Foods for $1.4 Billion.
2021: Both Tyson and JBS pay out hundreds of millions of dollars to settle price fixing lawsuits. The largest payment of $221.5 being made by Tyson to settle poultry price fixing lawsuits. Payments are made in order to keep the cases out of court so that they are not found guilty
2017: JBS’s owners plead guilty to paying $150 million worth of bribes to over 1,800 Brazilian Government and Banking officials in order to secure cheap government loans. Owners are sentenced to 6 months in jail and JBS was fined $2 billion.
2020: JBS owners plead guilty in the U.S. to violating the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act for using U.S. Banks and Real Estate to pay bribes to Brazilian officials. They are fined $256 million and then told that they only have to pay half.

Things everyone working in ag should know:

2. Many of agricultures, “industry leaders” have adopted the U. N. Sustainability Development Goals.

And I am here to condemn it!

on the bastardization of “sustainability.” The acronym is MMRV, Measure, Monitor, Report, Verify. It is what most major ag corporations and the USDA plan on forcing all farmers and ranchers to do with their GHG emissions.
Agencies always underestimate or ignore the cost of their regulations. EID ear tags are a perfect example-11yrs ago the cost was estimated at $1.2 billion, but now by only accounting for the cost of the actual tags & not other equipment, computers & retrofitting, it’s $26 million
Legacy questions everyone in agriculture should be asking themselves.
This week South Dakota legislators will be deciding between giving into corporate tyrants or standing up for freedom, truth, and independence.

Farming and ranching have been businesses ever since people raised more than their family could eat.
The ones who didn’t treat it like a business have already had their auction, or they’re about to.
What’s changed is people stopped studying history.
Want to join the agriculture climate cult, like

? Have fun while environmental nuts comb through the details of your farm or ranch, after you sign on with the USDA climate smart agenda.
Just released:
@ewg
found that a source for Tyson's "climate-friendly" Brazen Beef products is a giant, 100,000+ head cattle feedlot in Nebraska. We FOIA-ed USDA records to see what they claim "climate-smart" beef is and got extremely redacted results.

NCBA,
@BeefUSA
, how much does the generous federal government pay to sponsor your Environmental Stewardship Award Program?
Does that money or the $445,000 given by the USDA last year have any impact on policy decisions?
Sidenote: EID mandate goes into effect Nov. 5 2024.
Big thanks to
@RCALFUSA
for helping spread this message. I remember, when I started writing about this stuff, wondering what the big deal about these round tables for sustainable beef were all about. NCBA said that they felt that cattlemen needed to be represented at the table

If you think I’m an ally of the packers, you’re sorely mistaken. It is unreal and incredibly disappointing that an article that was meant to bring about conversation instead brought about personal attacks. People showed a lot of true colors over the past 24 hours.
