Austin Frerick

Check out my new interview:
"Last week, the NYT ran a story saying farmers are going to let their crops rot because the prices are so bad. At the same time, we’re having a food affordability crisis. That juxtaposition captures how broken our food system is"

Big Ag Has Corrupted Our Food System. Here’s How We Can Rebuild. Austin Frerick explains how corporate monopolies captured farm bill policy, and how farmers and eaters can unite to fix our food system.

What a year of putting on the miles - gave my final talk this year a few days ago in Great Falls, Montana. Thanks again to MOA for inviting me. 🥩🌾

“Trump shouldn’t underestimate the Yellowstone effect,” says Frerick.

I spoke to The Financial Times about how ranchers loom large in public consciousness and the danger of siding with foreign corporations like JBS against independent American ranchers.

The soaring price of a steak Beef costs have risen sharply in many countries, adding to the pressure on living standards and bringing Donald Trump into conflict with ranchers

Special thanks to the Harvard Law School for hosting me yesterday 🤓

Always game to talk Barons

I spoke to the BBC about what's going on with America's beef markets. "These are consolidated markets gouging ranchers and gouging consumers at the store."

Today, just 4 firms control more than 80% of the beef slaughtering and packing market.

US beef prices are soaring. Will Trump's plans lower them? Trump is under fire from ranchers, who say his ideas to lower prices address "symptoms not the problems".
