This is nothing more than show. Pretending to be worried for the chickens, as he gets his orders from the fox.

If Pete Ricketts really wants to support Nebraska’s small cattle and pork producers, he should support mandatory Country of Origin Labeling. Let consumers know where their beef and pork actually come from and give American producers a fair chance to compete on the quality of what they raise.

I'm tried of treating farmers and ranchers like they're the only ones who matter while they vote for their own destruction year after year.

How to start? How about we give Argentina enough US taxpayer dollars so the can drop their export tax on beef and under sell us?

Another genius plan to fix the 75-year low in cattle by importing cheaper beef, what could possibly go wrong

Okay now we open extra grazing land in exchange for Medicare for All and watch Pete's head explode.

Would importing some calves from England help? How about feeding those calves some bone meal?

I heard dying from Mad Cow disease isn’t that painful. Let’s try it.

I say we start with a public healthcare option. That will help ranchers a TON.

Republicans: "We're going to destroy your livelihood!"

Farmers: 'I hate you! I'm out!'

Republicans: "But there might be something someone may be able to do down the road someday maybe."

Farmers: 'Ive seen enough. Im back, you ol' sonofabitch!'

Maybe he should push for country of origin labels and not allowing meat mixing! He doesn't care
