First of all, Ben, I want you to know that I respect you. I respect my elders - which you are one - and I respect you because you've been around since beef was invented. However, I'm going to get in your face a little;
You want all US producers to unite so lets say that happens. Let's say that all the producers and feeders in the country actually unite under the Roberts Partnership and that you even have enough of the non Tyson, Cargill, etc... packers on board so you've got hook space for all the cattle in the US. Here you are with all the US beef to sell and on the other side of the street is Tyson, Cargill, Smithfield that can match you pound for pound with cheaper Brazilian beef. Today, you said the housewife is going to buy the cheaper product, so what are you going to do now?
