Globalists creating meat crisis, warn ranchers

Globalists are causing a decline in beef production and an increase in insect consumption, ranchers are warning.

America’s beef inventory in January was the smallest since 1951 after dropping 2% from 2023, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation. Last year’s herd declined 4% from the year before.

On Wednesday, National Black Farmers Association Founder John Boyd Jr. told Fox News host Laura Ingraham that American cattle farmers are producing one billion pounds less beef than this time last year. He added that although American ranchers are struggling, they receive little help from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).

“But here’s what’s problematic for me,” said Boyd. “We have all of these other foreign countries – $100 billion to Ukraine and help Ukraine farmers, but we won’t help America’s farmers right here at home. We have farmers facing foreclosure and USDA will not stop farm foreclosures in this country for direct loans, guaranteed loans, and other agricultural lenders . . . We’re down to 40,000 Black farmers in this country and guess what? We’re facing extinction. And these policies aren’t helping cattlemen, like myself, stay on the farm. We have the highest input costs that you’ve seen in decades. Diesel fuel prices going through. And this is why farmers can’t stay on the farm. We need good policies that can help us stay on the farm.”

Texas cattleman Shad Sullivan weighed in, explaining that American cattle farmers are being deliberately left to flounder as part of the globalist “climate change” agenda.

“What John is talking about is the symptom of the overreaching problem,” Sullivan said. “The overreaching problem is globalism. It’s the global elites claiming that climate change is ruining the world and that we must implement sustainability, which is just production and consumption control across the world. We see it going on all over. 

“Because of this, we are becoming vertically integrated in our system. The beef cattle industry is the last bastion of freedom. And so we have to take the bull by the horns, so to speak, and stop these global elites from implementing all of these . . . sustainable regulations that they claim that cattle are ruining the planet. And we have to stop that and make sure people understand that sustainability is nothing but communism,” Sullivan continued. 

The rancher warned that if the globalist agenda is not stopped in its tracks, Americans will find themselves eating insects in the next 20 years.

“As we know, two of the four major meat packers have invested heavily in bugs. One, Tyson Foods, announc[ed] two weeks ago that they’re going to build a $500 million plant for crickets. So this problem is real, but it’s a liberty and freedom issue. That’s where we have to focus, we have to stop this.”

In October Tyson Foods announced its partnership with Protix, a bug food business located in the Netherlands. The food giant revealed that the two companies decided to construct a sizable facility that will be utilized to produce insect food, in addition to a financial investment in Protix.

“The to-be-built facility in the U.S. will house an enclosed system to support all aspects of insect protein production including the breeding, incubating, and hatching of insect larvae,” said Tyson Foods in a statement. “In addition to ingredients for the aquaculture and pet food industries, processed larvae may also be used as ingredients within livestock and plant feed.”

Protix, which was named one of the World Economic Forum’s Technology Pioneers in 2015, produces over 14,000 metric tons of insect food annually under the guise of “fighting climate change.” Globalist governments and the World Economic Forum (WEF), which welcomes the day when “we can all buy a bag of edible insects at our local grocery store,” have made eating insects for the weather a major objective.
