Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller praises Tyson Foods’ planned partnership as boost for Amarillo beef plant and ranchers
Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller praised Tyson Foods’ planned long-term partnership with Allied Beef Company, saying the agreement could restore a second production shift at the company’s Amarillo beef processing facility and create new opportunities for Texas cattle producers and Panhandle workers.
Miller called the announcement a major step toward strengthening domestic beef production and expanding U.S. processing capacity, arguing that increasing American production is more important than relying on foreign beef imports.
“America doesn’t need more foreign beef. We need more Texas beef!” Miller said, adding that rebuilding the nation’s cattle herd and expanding domestic processing are key to supporting ranchers and keeping beef prices down for consumers.
Miller also welcomed Tyson’s commitment to the Texas Panhandle, saying the planned partnership would help support local jobs and strengthen the state’s agricultural economy.
