🚨TAKE ACTION: Protect American Beef Production 🚨

(ACTION REQUEST LINK IN COMMENTS)

Illinois Farm Bureau and Illinois Beef Association are asking you to urge Congress and the White House to protect American beef production.
An additional 660 million pounds of foreign beef is set to enter the U.S. over just 90 days at prices 25% below market value, undercutting producers.

Now is not the time. Farmers need long-term market stability, allowing producers to rebuild the U.S. cattle herd, increase American beef production and ensure consumers have access to a safe, abundant and affordable food supply.
