U.S. President Donald Trump signed a new executive order in the White House Friday making it easier for cattle farmers to sell and process their own beef. “We're creating a program where small and medium sized and large ranchers can sell their products directly to consumers, so that they don't have to go through the big four processors and middlemen,” the president told reporters in the Oval Office. Trump said the order will also require country-of-origin labeling for all foreign beef products. Some ranchers have sought mandatory country-of-origin labeling for beef, arguing that would support domestic producers and provide more transparency to consumers. Under current regulations, meat companies can voluntarily add a "Product of USA" label for meat born, raised and slaughtered in the U.S. U.S. President, USpoli, Donald Trump, Economy, Beef sales, Beef, Butchers, Beef processing, Country-of-origin labels, Meat, Food, Product of USA, Argentina, Brazil, Cattle farmers, Ranchers, U.
