Exports' huge value

摘要

It's a long way from a Virginia ranch or an Ohio cornfield to a restaurant in Japan or South Korea. Yet, most ranchers and farmers realize how valuable beef exports to Asian and other markets are for their economic well-being.In fact, exports of beef cuts and variety meats add hundreds of dollars to the value of a slaughter animal, and quite a few pennies to the value of a bushel of corn. That's why beef producers and corn growers alike strongly support the marketing and promotional efforts of the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF).
