Today, Gov. Abbott issued a statewide disaster declaration for the potential New World screwworm threat. 🔗Read our full statement here: tscra.org/tscra-applauds… @GregAbbott_TX

(1/5) There is no New World screwworm (NWS) in the United States. USDA is working day and night to carry out the Secretary’s five-prong plan to keep the screwworm out of the United States. As part of that effort... usda.gov/about-usda/new…

TSCRA is encouraged that this is a positive step in the right direction. TSCRA looks forward to learning more about the plan and working alongside Secretary Rollins and her team to help with implementation.  🔗 usda.gov/sites/default/…

U.S. beef prices reflect strong demand & tight supply, not market failure. While we appreciate Trump’s support, increasing imports is not the answer. We've shared concerns with officials & urge members to do the same. 🔗 bit.ly/4o4SR0n

Increasing imported Argentinean beef to lower current prices hurts U.S. ranchers. TSCRA supports letting the market work without interference as our herds rebuild. Tight cattle supplies contribute to high prices. High input costs for ranchers continue to keep profit margins thin.

The proven way to eradicate screwworm is through sterile fly production, not traps & bait. TSCRA stands with the Trump Administration, @SecRollins and USDA. We cannot afford distractions from unproven methods. rfdtv.com/texas-beefs-up…
