From Sioux Falls, S.D.: President Donald Trump has announced plans to ease meat processing for ranchers. He considers them a top priority and acknowledges the challenges they face with a few major processors. This issue of consolidation and high prices has been addressed by both Trump and former President Joe Biden.

Ranchers are now pushing back against Trump's proposal, citing concerns about safety. Meat processing has strict requirements and regular inspections to ensure safety. The details of Trump's plan are unclear, and it is unknown how he intends to balance safety with easier processing.

Further information on the proposal and the reaction from ranchers can be found through additional sources.
