EXPORTS INCREASE vs. PRICE DECREASE

Could  I  get  an  explanation  of  the  current  fat  cattle  price ,  when  we  have  been  told  '''  EXPORTS '''   are  our  saving  grace  ? 

 

Don't need  the  scapegoat  sermon of how much worse the market  MIGHT be  without them - - -

Re: Because they Can,

regarding fair trade and anti trust laws that will never bother with the big 4 meat packers in the USA.

 

Also the Trends are well in place:

 

Ground beef consumption is headed towards 77% of all beef consumed in the USA ( up from 56% today and 38% say 20 years ago ).

 

And exports of high end and middle meats keeps going higher annually too.

 

Solo run the math....with the afore ratios, what will go up eventually is hamburger,

Say a lot of $4 to $6 per pound burger on the way.

Re: the tariff stuff now is

Just a guised tax for the deadbeat USA govt.

 

trump and the rest of the political club are not smart enough to run a Real money making economy. 

 

So on take some govt skim from everyone selling and buying goods to/from China. Lol.
