  • A historic shortage is squeezing an American dinner staple and relief could be y...
    Relief from high beef prices may depend on something that can’t be fixed overnight: rebuilding America’s shrinking cattle herd.America’s ranchers are facing their smallest cattle herd in 75 years, a shortage now rippling from pastures to some of the nation’s largest meatpackers.Tyson Foods announced last week that it will close beef facilities in Illinois and Utah and pursue the sale of another in Washington as it reshapes its beef business amid what the company called one of the most historic cattle shortages the country has ever experienced. Tyson said recent USDA data suggest supply constraints are likely to persist.THE UNEXPECTED FORCE KEEPING BEEF PRICES HIGH AND WHY THE PRESSURE COULD LAST FOR YEARSUSDA data shows the U.S. entered 2026 with about 86.2 million cattle and calves, the smallest herd since the early 1950s. That’s down from roughly 94.7 million cattle and calves in 2019, a decline of more than 8 million animals.Rebuilding that lost supply will take time, particularly after years of conditions that pushed ranchers to shrink their herds.Chief among them is persistent drought."The biggest thing has been drought," Eric Belasco, head of the agricultural economics department at Montana State University, previously told Fox News Digital.He said years of dry weather have depleted grasslands across the West and Plains, leaving ranchers without enough feed or water to sustain their herds. Many have been forced to sell cattle early, including cows needed to produce the next generation of calves, making the road to recovery even longer.The effects are reaching beyond ranches and into grocery stores, where consumers are paying more for beef.IN TEXAS CATTLE COUNTRY, ONE RANCHER WELCOMES TRUMP’S FOCUS ON DECADES OF THIN MARGINSAccording to USDA data, the retail value of Choice beef rose from about $8.51 per pound in August 2024 to $10.49 per pound in July 2026, an increase of roughly 23%.Behind that price pressure is a cattle supply crunch that experts say has been years in the making."The biggest thing has been drought," Eric Belasco, head of the agricultural economics department at Montana State University, previously told Fox News Digital.BEEF PRICES ARE CLOSE TO RECORD HIGHS — BUT AMERICANS AREN’T CUTTING BACKHe said years of dry weather have depleted grasslands across the West and Plains, leaving ranchers without enough feed or water to sustain their herds.Many have been forced to sell cattle early, including cows needed to produce the next generation of calves, making the road… [TheTopNews] Read More.

  • Safeway closing more stores as Albertsons reshapes footprint after failed Kroger...
    Safeway is closing additional stores as parent company Albertsons Companies reassesses its retail footprint following the collapse of its proposed $24.6 billion merger with Kroger.Albertsons told USA Today that the company had slowed its potential "portfolio optimization" efforts while the Kroger transaction was pending, then resumed evaluating its store network after the deal fell apart. That process has included opening stores in areas where the company sees long-term demand while making what Albertsons described to the outlet as the difficult decision to close some locations.The broader company closed 35 stores during fiscal 2025, more than triple the 10 it closed the previous year and up from eight in fiscal 2023, according to Albertsons’ latest annual filing. It opened nine stores during fiscal 2025 and ended the year with 2,244 locations across 35 states and Washington, D.C.Those closures had a measurable impact on the grocer’s results. Store closures, net of new openings, reduced fiscal 2025 sales by $63.4 million, while costs associated with closed stores and surplus properties climbed to $45.1 million from $15.9 million a year earlier.COSTCO BRINGS BACK FAN-FAVORITE KIRKLAND TREAT AFTER TWO-YEAR ABSENCEAlbertsons also continued investing in other parts of its store base. The company completed 94 remodels and opened nine new stores during fiscal 2025 as part of approximately $1.83 billion in capital expenditures, which also included investment in digital and technology platforms.Albertsons operates 22 grocery banners, including Safeway, Vons, Jewel-Osco, ACME, Shaw’s and Tom Thumb, and employed approximately 280,000 workers as of Feb. 28, 2026.COCA-COLA'S PERSONALIZED CANS SHOW INCONSISTENT ENFORCEMENT AGAINST DISALLOWING CONTROVERSIAL PHRASES, GROUPSThe company did not provide USA Today with a full list of planned Safeway closures. The outlet reported that Safeway locations that have closed in 2026 include stores at 231 W. Jackson St. in Hayward, California; 2220 N. Coast Highway in Newport, Oregon; and 1601 Maryland Ave. in Washington, D.C.Albertsons said it is working to place as many affected employees as possible in jobs at other stores, according to USA Today.The store review follows the breakdown of Albertsons’ planned combination with Kroger, which was announced in 2022 and would have created one of the country’s largest grocery companies.The Federal Trade Commission sued to block the $24.6 billion transaction, arguing that the combination would reduce competition and could lead to higher grocery prices and less competition for grocery workers.On Dec. 10, 2024, the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon granted the… [TheTopNews] Read More.
