Tyson food CEO made just under $35mil, with bonuses in 2025.
Poor guys can't make a profit, especially if you overpay for incompetent managment.

Fell for it again award

“I’d be nice if it was a little greener” I wonder why it isn’t

So we’re gonna pretend corporations don’t just pay politicians for policy? Greed is the problem and maybe we are all guilty

They got their guy in office. Why they mad?

Beef farmer here, usually get nervous watching videos on the industry because they can often be extremely misleading, but yall did a great job giving a good overview of the situation. Right now is the first time since I could remember where my neighboring farms have had any amount of competitive advantage which I’m happy about. One of the things that people don’t realize is just how much the price of cows went up, 3 years ago a Holstein calf was $500-700 whereas now it’s pushing $2000. That’s $2,000 on an 18 month bet that the price will still be high when it reaches maturity, assuming it doesn’t die randomly as calves sometimes do. It’s a huge gamble to invest in growing the heard when in the current environment, a single tweet from a senile old man can tank the market. We’re cashing in as much as we can but we know that it will come down so we are being cautious in terms of expansion.

American Consumers have proven they do not give a shit about where the product comes from all they care about is price.

Because the US is importing Australian beef more now the prices here in Australia is now more expensive than it ever has been before.

Oh look consolidation is making things worse , dang I guess we reeeaaallly haven't seen that before and should probably make regulations against it.

The problem is people can't afford expensive beef, beef has never been so affordable for so long and maybe eventually people's dietary habits change and the demand shrinks permanently

Fun fact, Trump no longer has to give the cattle ranchers anything because they will vote for him no matter what, even as they go bankrupt

Can't agree on the diagnosis and therefore can't agree on the cure. Sounds like America.

If farmland costs more than can be earned from it, there's something driving prices other than the business side of farming.  It's partly big players who can buy without financing driving the small guys out, but farming is also a social class.  People who own land outrank people who don't.  People with more land outrank people with less.  When they talk about it being a way of life and not a business, that's what they're talking about.  My entire working life has been me showing up to work and being yelled at and abused, and this won't stop until I retire.  These guys don't have to put up with that.

12:35 "I'm a big Trump supporter, even though he doesn't know anything about my business and is actively harming me". Sums it up.

Classic ranchers:
- “It’s not a business; it’s a way of life.” Nope — it’s a business.
- “We don’t want free money; we want a guaranteed market.” Still a subsidy.
- Voted for Trump 🤦‍♂

Mitch McConnell in this video looking like he is on another planet.

I stopped eating beef simply because prices are ridiculous. Especially after learning about the class action lawsuit tyson and cargill were just forced to pay out for consumer price fixing.

Honestly one of the most informative videos I've seen in a long time.  The last ten seconds was a gem. Thanks

beef prices are up... but so is everything else. An old spice deodorant stick was 3 bucks before covid. I got one last night for 8 fkn dollars.

I teach Agribusiness at a college, and this is a great objective review of what’s going on in the industry right now. Definitely sharing this with classes!
