Agriculture sec sounds alarm over MAJOR shift in America's food supply

• A historic cattle shortage, with 8 million fewer cattle in 2026 compared to 2019, is driving beef prices up over 10% year-over-year.
• The U.S. became a net food importer in 2023 for the first time in history, attributed to the previous administration's policies.
• Cattle numbers are now turning around, with ranchers retaining heifers at a higher rate, signaling a rebuilding of the herd.
• The administration is focused on supporting ranchers and rural America, including addressing land use conflicts with data centers and promoting 'Product of the USA' labeling.

U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins discusses the historic cattle shortage driving beef prices higher, attributing it to the previous administration's policies. She highlights a positive turn in cattle numbers and the Trump administration's focus on rebuilding the domestic food supply and supporting American ranchers, while also addressing concerns about land use for data centers.
