AMT454- PREPARE FOR HIGHER PRICES | US CUTS BEEF PRODUCTION CAPACITY | As a Man Thinketh
Tyson Foods just shook the U.S. beef industry — shutting down its massive Lexington, Nebraska plant and cutting production at the Amarillo, Texas plant. On paper, that’s a “5–6% capacity adjustment.”
In reality?
It triggers 5–15% losses for ranchers, 5–15% price increases for consumers, and a 10–30% margin boost for the packers sitting in the middle.
In this Yanasa TV investigation, Charlie Rankin breaks down:
Why Tyson is pulling slaughter capacity during a tight cattle supply
How a 5–6% change warps the entire market
Why ranchers lose 5–10% overnight
Why beef prices stay high (or go higher) for families
How packers quietly widen their margins
The REAL free-market solution: more hooks, more packers, more competition
If America wants to rebuild the cattle herd…
If we want affordable beef for families…
If we want ranchers to survive…
Then we need competition, regional packers, interstate freedom for state-inspected beef, and ownership in rural America.
This may be the biggest restructuring moment since the 1990s — and rural America can’t afford to get it wrong.
