THE MOST important agricultural industry in the United States is cattle production, which persistently “accounts for the largest share of total cash receipts for agricultural commodities,” according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Between 2002 and 2022, the USDA said the value of cattle and calf production rose from $27.1 billion to $61.9 billion. The world’s largest-fed cattle industry is America, which is the world’s largest beef consumer, with Americans mainly using high-value, grain-fed beef. If it is not already clear enough, cattle and beef farmers are essential to the country and its communities. Lebanon has its very own cattle farmers who are working to feed families. Neal Farms Beef Co., run by Houston and Brooke Neal’s family, is the name of the business.
