209: Tariffs, Brazil, and Beef: How Agriculture Became a Bargaining Chip with Emma Coffman


Listen Later

The tariffs on Brazilian beef are back in the headlines, and this time Trump’s decision to lift them has the entire industry on edge. In this episode, we break down what a return to 26% actually means, why agriculture keeps getting used as a political bargaining chip, and how these changes ripple all the way from ranchers to consumers buying ground beef at the store. Lauren and Emma dig into quality concerns, transparency issues, and the long-term implications for a supply chain already stretched thin. This conversation clears the noise so producers can understand what’s signal — and what’s politics.
