Colorado Governor
Governor Polis comments on President Trump’s intent to purchase massive amounts of Argentinian Beef. “If the President floods the market with Argentinian beef, he will crush hardworking Colorado farmers and ranchers, turning his back on the industry that helps drive our western economy and puts food on our tables.” Colorado is 5th in the nation for beef exports. Colorado is a net exporter of meat, exporting $1.3 billion of beef in 2024.
