We should be importing more beef from Australia. Time to fix the relation between ranchers and processors.
Send that beef here. Do something, anything to get beef prices down.
I’ve not had a steak this spring/summer because they are stupid expensive and I just won’t spend that.
Same with watermelon—stupid expensive and I usually live on watermelon in the summer.
