Before TRUMP, our great American ranchers were being targeted by radical environmentalists in the federal government. Now, we’re putting RANCHERS FIRST.
Today, @USDA is building on our progress with revised regulations that support grazing on National Forest System lands and the ranching communities that depend on them. Farmers and ranchers belong at the center of the decisions in our country.
Thank you to @SecretaryBurgum and @Interior for standing with us and America’s ranchers.
Ranchers First. America First. 🇺🇸

plenty of buyers. still no deal.
four things that can stall a consumer deal, even when the interest is real:
1. valuation gaps
the seller prices in the next stage of growth. the buyer won't pay for all of it upfront. both can like the business and still disagree on the price.
2. budgets that start slipping
the business starts missing its forecast while buyers are reviewing it. buyers lower what they expect it to earn, and the price they can justify falls with it.
3. customer concentration
one retailer accounts for a large share of sales. a lost listing, a smaller order or tougher terms could change the earnings. the buyer has to price that dependence, even if the account stays.
4. falling category consumption
the brand is taking share, but people are buying fewer units of the whole category. gaining share doesn't guarantee selling more, which makes the growth plan harder to justify.
buyer interest starts the process. agreement on price and risk closes it.
Shelf life is not a number you pick. It gets tested.
Labs hold the product for months and check taste, texture and color along the way. Some use warm storage to speed it up.
Start before your retail date. Buyers ask for the report.

Scoops’ Target footprint grew from an initial 1,100-store award to more than 1,900 stores, prompting a $2 million seed raise. See what’s next for the peanut protein powder brand: nosh.com/news/2026/peanut-pr…
Your recipe says "cocoa powder." Your plant needs a spec sheet.
Fat content, moisture, mesh size, origin. Two suppliers can sell the same named ingredient and give you two different products.
Lock the specs on your key ingredients and line up a backup supplier before your first run. It saves you from a batch that tastes off when a lot gets swapped.

Co-packer: "Our MOQ is 50,000 units."
Brands with 400 pre-orders: 😶
Ask: per SKU or per run? Can the run be split?

Most founders pick a co packer after one call and a walk through the website.
Ask what similar products they have actually run this year, and whether one of those brands will talk to you.
Then get two things in writing before you send a deposit. Who owns your formula if you leave, and how they keep the last brand's allergens out of your batch.
A plant that cannot answer those is not ready for your first run.

Some big launches in ‘27
So we’re doubling down on real photography
AI is amazing but can only take you so far
Stoked to see this come to life!
Most founders set a launch date before they lock packaging.
Printed film and cartons can take 8 to 12 weeks once art is final. If the converter is overseas, add ocean transit and customs on top.
Lock the pack supplier and a written lead time before you promise a shelf date to retail.
