Wildfire Communications Resiliency Act and Herd Expansion Happening
From the Ag Information Network, this is your Agribusiness Update.
**When a wildfire is racing toward you, a warning sent to your phone could save your life. But what if environmental laws delayed repair, replacement, or improvement of the infrastructure needed to send that warning?
That’s why U.S. Representative Cliff Bentz, of Oregon, says he sponsored H.R. 1655, the Wildfire Communication Resiliency Act.
If enacted, this bill would provide an exemption from bureaucratic red tape that could delay repair and replacement of life saving communications.
**U.S. ranchers are moving to expand their herds from a seven-decade low, paving the way for a long-awaited recovery in beef supplies.
That’s according to top producer JBS, where officials say economic incentives are there, and the weather is helping.
That’s much-needed news for both meatpackers and consumers.
Still, cattle supplies won’t recover overnight, with no meaningful increase expected before 2027.
**Germany has almost 84 million of the world’s wealthiest consumers and is by far the biggest market in the European Union.
The German market offers opportunities for U.S. exporters of consumer-oriented agricultural products.
In 2024, total U.S. exports of ag and related products to Germany reached almost USD 2.7 billion.
Apart from soybeans, the largest segments were tree nuts, distilled spirits, seafood, food preparations, and wine.
