Border Policy, the Cattle Industry, and the Fight for Independence Agriculture

Trent Loos sits down with Texas cattle industry veteran Andy Rice for a hard-hitting talk on the biggest issues facing American agriculture today. They dig into how the border closure is hurting live feeder cattle numbers and why cow haulers are a critical link in the beef supply chain that most people never think about. The discussion turns to growing concerns about government overreach and corporate control in farming, plus tough questions about water rights and usage. Rice also shares his perspective on military service and independent thinking as keys to strong rural leadership and a healthier future for America's farm and ranch communities.
