The beef industry is a vital part of the Western Treasure Valley economy, supporting local families, businesses, and communities.

If you're a small to mid-sized beef producer, take a few minutes to check out this opportunity. It could provide valuable information and resources to help strengthen your operation. It's worth about five minutes of your time!

America should never rely on foreign countries or a handful of meatpacking giants to feed our people.

That’s why today, Secretary Rollins launched the Strengthening Processing for U.S. Ranchers (SPUR) Program—a $500 million investment to strengthen independent and mid-size beef processors and put America's ranchers first.

✔️ More competition.
✔️ More market access for ranchers.
✔️ Stronger American-owned processors.
✔️ A more secure U.S. beef supply.

For too long, consolidation has stacked the deck against producers and impeded rural America. USDA is investing in the processors that keep our cattle industry strong and our food supply secure.

Keeping America free means keeping America self-sufficient. And that starts with American ranchers, American processors, and American beef. 🥩🇺🇸
