Packer Shares Increase As Opening To Mexican Cattle Is Announced USDA's decision to begin reopening the border to Mexican cattle imports sent beef packer stocks soaring Monday. Tyson Foods jumped nearly 7 percent, while JBS gained as much as 8 percent as investors welcomed the prospect of more cattle supplies. Imports will resume August 24 through Douglas, Arizona, with every animal undergoing USDA inspection for New World screwworm. While the move could eventually ease record-high cattle prices and improve packer margins, USDA says the reopening will be gradual, meaning immediate relief to the tight cattle supply is unlikely.  REFERENCE: https://meatingplace.com/tyson-jbs-shares-rise-after-usda-announces-mexico-cattle-reopening/ Cattle Association's Response To Southern Border Opening The National Cattlemen's Beef Association says the USDA decision to reopen the border and their response to New World Screwworm has put the US cattle industry in a strong position to begin safe and gradual reopening of the southern border to cattle shipments.  However, the United States Cattlemen's Association is disappointed in USDA's decision to move forward with reopening the southern border to Mexican cattle when they say so many unresolved risks remain for the U.S. herd.  USCA underscores that border policy must be driven by science-based risk assessment and on-the-ground capacity.

Strong global demand continues to boost U.S. pork exports, with both value and volume running ahead of last year, and U.S. dairy groups applaud the White House decision to impose 50% tariffs on dairy imports from Canada.

Notice what Canadian imports Trump's tariffs DIDN'T DARE touch?

Building the cow inventory back in the USA is priority 1. I honestly don't see how that is going to happen due to the loss of grazing acres from 1.1 billion to 642 million and declining.

The latest set of tariffs from President Trump took effect on Friday for more than 80 countries, covering virtually all U.S. imports. They replace another set of tariffs, launched on what Trump called "liberation day," that the Supreme Court struck down earlier this year. Liz Landers reports.

Welcome to your weekly UAS News Update, have 3 stories for you this week: a Colorado drone pilot facing federal charges after grounding wildfire aircraft, a possible US ban on imports of some “military-grade” drones, and the National Press Photographers Association pushing back on the FAA's Section 2209 rule. Let's get to it.This week Pilot Institute is in Oshkosh, Wisconsin for EAA AirVenture. If you've never been it's a really cool event with thousands of aircraft on display, air shows, workshops, and Pilot Institute. Greg and the team will be there through Sunday, July 26th, and would love to see you in person. If you're in the area stop by the big pink tent and meet the team. And when you meet Pilot Institute, you don't just leave with memories, no. You'll also be leaving with free Pilot Institute gear and giveaways. Plus, I hear there are fantastic cheese curds and double-fried French fries close by. I have sent a request to Greg to have a BVLOS french fried drone delivery sent all the way back to Arizona, but I am still waiting on that response.Alright, in our first story, A drone pilot in southern Colorado is facing federal charges. On Friday, July 17th, someone flew a drone into the temporary flight restriction over the Aspen Acres Fire near Rye. That fire has burned more than 100,000 acres. It's the largest wildfire currently active in Colorado.In case you don't know, once a drone is detected, every helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft on the fire has to stop flying. However, investigators didn't have to work hard on this one. The pilot posted the flight on social media and The Pueblo County Sheriff's Office used that footage to identify the suspect. Civil penalties can exceed 75,000 dollars. Next up, The FCC announced 2 drone supply chain actions, but the one that matters most for equipment is a new request for public comment. The Commission is asking whether it should prohibit the import, marketing, or sale of certain “military-grade” foreign-made drones already on its Covered List. The categories under consideration include swarming drones, drones designed to carry defense articles, thermal imaging drones, drones with LiDAR sensing, drones capable of dispensing aerosols classified as economic poison under FAA rules, drone docking stations, and any drone weighing 55 pounds or more. Several things would be excluded from any such ban: equipment not on the Covered List, equipment sold for federal government use or for commercial testing and product development, and any drones people already own. Separately, the FCC extended its exceptions for trusted drones, with the Blue UAS and Buy America carve-outs now running through January 1, 2028, and Conditional Approval products losing their expiration date entirely. Comments on the proposed prohibition are due 30 days after the notice is published in the Federal Register.The National Press Photographers Association just filed comments on the FAA's proposed Section 2209 rule. This is the rule that lets critical infrastructure sites apply for permanent drone flight restrictions, called UAFRs. The FAA has identified about 125,000 candidate facilities total, and they're expecting around 9,000 applications over the next five years. The NPPA's complaint is simple. As written, these restrictions could last forever, with no expiration date, no public record of why they exist, and no way to challenge one. The comment deadline is August 5th, 2026. Be sure to check out our full discussion of the proposed rule.No post flight this week, but we'll still have a Monday live Q&A with our guest host, Vic Moss. Hope we see you there. Have a good weekend!https://dronexl.co/2026/07/21/drone-pilot-charges-aspen-acres-fire/https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-takes-action-secure-drone-supply-chainhttps://dronexl.co/2026/07/20/nppa-faa-section-2209-drone-rule-press/

The United States has announced it will impose new tariffs on 60 trading partners, including New Zealand. After his previous tariffs were deemed illegal by the Supreme Court, Trump is using the excuse that the countries are not doing enough to stop the imports of goods associated with forced labour to justify the increase. ExportNZ Executive Director Joshua Tan told Heather du Plessis-Allan that even if New Zealand fixed the alleged issue it would likely not change the tariff. "Look, simply put, the Trump administration wants a way to to enforce higher tariffs across the imports, and this is the mechanism that they've chosen. There is simply no way of avoiding it."

Dan doesn't usually replay past episodes, but this is one that deserves another look.While Dan is on the road this week, he's bringing back an important conversation with Chris Zanobini of the California Pear Advisory Board, originally recorded this past April. Now that California pear season is in full swing and the challenges discussed in this interview still persist, we felt it was important to bring this conversation back to the forefront and raise even more awareness.This week on Fresh From The Field Fridays...Dan is joined by Chris Zanobini from the California Pear Advisory Board.They're digging into what's really going on with imported pears flooding the market just as California pears, especially Bartletts, are coming into season. The discussion also explores the use of 1-MCP (1-methylcyclopropene), a postharvest treatment used on some imported pears to slow ripening and extend storage life. In contrast, California pear growers have chosen not to use 1-MCP, believing consumers deserve the naturally ripened, sweet, juicy eating experience California Bartlett pears are known for.You'll hear what this means for California growers, what you're seeing at retail, and why it matters more than most people realize.They also discuss how the produce industry, retailers, and consumers can all be part of the solution.Fresh From The Field Fridays is brought to you by The Produce Industry Network and AgLife Media.Check out aglifemedia.com today.

In this episode, Madelyn O'Farrell talks with Drew DeLong, Lead, Corporate Statecraft, Kearney Foresight, about how companies can navigate a new era of persistent geopolitical and economic volatility. Drew traces his path from engineering at Carnegie Mellon to policy roles in Congress, the White House, DOT, FAA, and State, and now advising global firms at Kearney Foresight. They discuss the shift from pure efficiency to resilience after COVID exposed supply chain vulnerabilities, the reality behind “reshoring” and what Kearney's reshoring index actually shows, and how tariff volatility and sectoral tariffs are reshaping global manufacturing decisions. Drew explains how companies should think about capital planning, total landed cost, and automation in this environment, and explores China's move up the value chain and the emerging race over semiconductors, critical minerals, and AI infrastructure. He closes by raising the open question of what a coherent, long-term American industrial policy should look like, and how the US government can realistically execute it.

There was a bit of welcome news for consumers as world oil prices were moderating in early June even though the Strait of Hormuz remained essentially closed. Confluence Chief Market Strategist Patrick Fearon-Hernandez joins Phil Adler to explain why and discuss whether this is just a short-term phenomenon.

Michael Bernstam reveals that China has significantly reduced its oil imports by nearly half by drawing on massive strategic reserves of 1.4 billion barrels and increasing electric vehicle adoption.
