U.S. Government Takes Bold Steps to Revitalize the Beef Industry

<p><strong>(Washington, D.C., October 22, 2025)</strong> – In a landmark announcement today, key officials from the Trump Administration unveiled a comprehensive initiative aimed at bolstering the American beef industry. U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins, Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Small Business Administrator Kelly Loeffler outlined a strategic plan to elevate the critical role of American ranchers in national security. This effort comes in response to significant declines in family farms and a shrinking national herd, which has dropped to a 75-year low as consumer demand for beef continues to rise.</p>

<p>“America’s food supply chain is a national security priority for the Trump Administration. We are committed to ensuring that the American people have an affordable source of protein and that America’s ranchers can thrive,” emphasized Secretary <strong>Brooke Rollins</strong>. “At USDA, we are protecting our beef industry and incentivizing new ranchers to embrace the noble vocation of ranching. Starting today, we will expedite deregulatory reforms, enhance processing capacity, and work to remove outdated barriers that hinder ranchers, including unjust grazing restrictions.”</p>

<p>Echoing this sentiment, Secretary of the Interior <strong>Doug Burgum</strong> stated, “At Interior, we are committed to cutting through red tape and restoring grazing rights on public lands to uplift hardworking Americans in the ranching sector. Under President Trump’s direction, this administration is taking decisive actions to empower our farmers and ranchers while ensuring families have access to high-quality beef.”</p>

<p>Addressing the public health aspect, Secretary of Health and Human Services <strong>Robert F. Kennedy Jr.</strong> remarked, “We are facing a chronic disease epidemic largely linked to our dietary choices. This administration is committed to reinstating whole foods as the cornerstone of the American diet and dismantling the outdated stigma against natural saturated fats found in beef and dairy. By strengthening the ranching sector, we ensure families can make healthy, nutrient-dense food choices. Simply put, we cannot Make America Healthy Again without the dedication of our farmers and ranchers.”</p>

<p>Small Business Administrator <strong>Kelly Loeffler</strong> also reinforced the importance of the ranching community, stating, “Ranches and farms are the backbone of small businesses in our nation. They have been pivotal in feeding, clothing, and fueling America for generations. Today marks a significant step forward, thanks to the vision of President Trump and Secretary Rollins, to secure our food supply and fortify the beef industry. The SBA will alleviate burdensome regulations and provide government-backed loans to empower our producers in strengthening the American beef supply for consumers and our national security.”</p>
