Stitt Establishes Oklahoma Beef Advisory Council Following Trump's Temporary Tariff Break
Stitt said the council will coordinate Oklahoma cattle producers’ response after Trump’s import plan drew pushback over beef prices.
- On Tuesday, Governor Kevin Stitt signed an executive order creating the Oklahoma Beef Industry Advisory Council to "protect and grow Oklahoma's beef industry" in response to federal plans to increase ground beef imports.
- President Donald Trump announced plans to allow importing up to 300,000 metric tons of ground beef tariff-free for 90 days, aiming to lower consumer prices that reached $6.85 last month.
- Oklahoma's cattle producers, managing 4.65 million cattle and calves including nearly 2 million beef cows, called the policy through the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association "extremely bad policy at exactly the wrong time."
- On Wednesday, National Black Farmers Association President John Boyd denounced the proposal, calling it "a national insult to America's producers and cattlemen" while questioning the administration's motivations.
- Ground beef prices have climbed nearly 54% over the past five years, fueling the administration's intervention that critics argue undermines domestic producers needed to rebuild the American cattle herd.
