Beef Processing Capacity Collapses as Grazing Acres Disappear

In this eye-opening episode of Across the Pond, host Trent Loos welcomes Damian Buckley from New Zealand to tackle a growing crisis in American agriculture: the steep decline in beef processing capacity and grazing acres. Trent recounts his recent cross-country road trip, revealing shrinking cattle herds and the shutdown of major beef plants by Tyson Foods and JBS, leaving just three active processing facilities nationwide. Together, they explore how these closures threaten ranchers' livelihoods and spark fierce debate between land rewilding and sustainable livestock farming. Both agree troubling policies may be intentionally shrinking domestic beef production, threatening America's food security.
