Press Release From August 21, 2026

Ricketts Issues Statement in Support of Nebraska Farmers and Ranchers

Omaha, Nebraska. – Today, U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE) issued the following

statement in support of Nebraska farmers and ranchers:

“I appreciate the Administration’s work to lower grocery prices. Short term policy

shifts do not equal long term solutions. Flooding the market with lower quality

beef compromises Nebraska farmers and ranchers. They should be enabled to grow herd

sizes and meet consumer demand.”
