"High prices are the new normal" –

The #Trump admin plans to prop up the #cattle & #MeatPacking industry as #prices of #beef soar amid a #livestock shortage w/ sustained demand.

The US #Agriculture Dept plans "to pledge up to $500 million in payments for small and medium-size meatpacking companies... (to keep) processing volumes at a certain level."

The #US gov't is also subsidizing the #farming industry at unprecedented levels (see my thread from yesterday).

#USA
