Dry conditions across the country are also impacting U.S. beef production.
John Herath with the U.S. Meat Export Federation tells Brownfield Ag News drought and input costs have slowed it down. He says there needs to be financial incentive for production to come back, and they want to broaden the parts of the animal that bring value like beef tongue. He says it would do well in Japan.
Leaders with the Federation are working hard to increase the value of U.S. beef on the global market.
