Hit the nail on the head!
I’ve been seeing a post going around from R-Calf saying that people need to join because they want to keep the border to Mexico closed until screwworm is completely eradicated…
Let me ask these questions…
Where where they when years ago the head veterinarian for NCBA sounded the screwworm alarm? Where were they in drumming the DC hills for funding for a sterile screworm facility? Where were they in the meeting rooms with USDA? Where were they when pushing Trump to push sanctions on Mexico for not allowing sterile flies to be transported across Mexico? I’ve sat in meetings with CNOG (the Mexican cattlemen) and where were they in having those discussions-I’ve never seen them at the table. Where were they when having the discussions with Cattleman’s group, trade associations, wildlife groups??Where have they been???
But now they are drumming for membership because they want to keep the border closed to the 1.1 million cattle that cross into the US and are part of the business plan for hundreds of small (and large) producers across the US. Why are they trying to put these producers out of business in an all time shortage of cattle in the US? Livelihood for many families depend on the live cattle imports.
I will say this so there is no confusion…I DO NOT care what cattle association you belong to. But be cautious of gaslighting, and even though I have no affiliation with NCBA except for being a member, this gaslighting is harmful, and that mentality is harming a lot of producers in alot of different states.
Will screwworm occur again in the US? All signs are pointing to yes, but don’t forget it can be transferred by more than bovines, and until other livestock, wildlife, birds, and even humans fall under the same restrictions of not being able to cross the Rio Grande, do not push producers out of business.

It’s the perfect fall day to seed some 🌾! First field of @AgriMAXXWheat 520 is going in the ground. 💪🏻
I hope everyone is listening to this guy…. Not sure how they want to eat and stay alive but it’s our fault for ruining the planet. #fakenews

@GeorgeMonbiot tells @MiriamOCal that we must end our dependence on farming if we are to overcome the realities of climate change.

How did we go from not having 2 billion for the border wall, to having 50 billion dollars for Ukraine?
Sure with this global warming would warm up the seeds in the cool Midwest soils. #FreeSpeech #Plant22

Based on the wheat market it’s looking like it will be a fun summer!

SPOILER ALERT: there will continue to be new COVID variants until we reach the final strain of the virus called COMMUNISM. Wake up Sheeple.
This is ground that should be in CRP (which South America doesn’t have) or placed into pasture and raise cattle. #Ridiculous
Planting when you should wait another day for the land to dry out but there is a forecast of rain for tomorrow.😅😅🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
