Who’s getting government assistance under the Trump administration? ✅ Foreign corporate imports ❌ Small Wisconsin beef farmers With 300,000 tons of foreign beef coming into the US under a new plan from President Trump, mandating that the meat be sold at 25% below the current market value, small-scale independent farmers in Wisconsin face an increasingly dire economic landscape. AJ Kangas says he doesn’t get any subsidies—just like most small beef farmers who don’t receive subsidies or safety net payments for cow-calf and pasture-to-plate operations. In Barron County, AJ can’t compete with the tariff-free imports because his fixed costs—like fueling tractors and fertilizing fields—keep going up. He argues flooding the market with cheap foreign meat doesn’t fix the root cause of food inflation. ✏️: Salina Heller
