Across the Pond-06.27.23

On today's episode of "Across the Pond," hosts Trent Loos and Andrew Henderson provide an incisive take on recent agricultural and political events. Henderson sparked off the discussion by examining a new UK ruling which would prevent UK ranchers from importing soybean meal derived from recently deforested land. This, he emphasized, threatens the overall health of livestock by limiting their nutritional options, underscoring the fact that Britain heavily relies on imported animal feed.

The hosts also took a keen interest in the increasing cost of food staples such as beef, potatoes, and bread, just as we approach the 4th of July celebration. They unpacked the potential implications of this rise in costs for the average family, further questioning the regulations and trade policies that could be behind these surges.

The conversation then heated up as Loos directed a pointed critique towards South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem for her allegedly feeble handling of eminent domain issues with respect to the CO2 pipeline. He argued for a stronger stance from leaders to ensure private property rights are upheld and that sustainable and economically sound decisions are made.

In their conservative view, "Across the Pond" continues to provide a platform for examining global agricultural policies and the intersection with politics, emphasizing the need for personal freedom, economic responsibility, and sustainable farming practices.
