2,000 SIGNATURES IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS. NOW LET'S GET TO 5,000. More than 660 million pounds of additional foreign beef is headed to the U.S. market over the next 90 days. But when you buy beef at the grocery store, you still won't necessarily know which beef is the lower-priced foreign product and which came from cattle born, raised and harvested in the United States. And American cattle producers are left competing against increasing volumes of lower-priced foreign beef without a label that allows consumers to distinguish their U.S.-produced beef in the marketplace. We're urging President Trump to support the immediate restoration of MCOOL for beef and Congress to act swiftly to make it law. Cattle producers, consumers and supporters of American agriculture: Add your name, share the petition and help us keep spreading the word.
