It cautions against simplistic solutions, noting corporations hold economic wealth and should pay their fair share without destroying them.

Iowa State College farm economist Tom Rackham warns that grass feeding cattle could face scarce pasture this summer unless weather improves. He notes that unfavorable conditions threaten forage supply as fall markets approach.
Farmers may rush to sell stockers and breeders due to weak weight gain from spring feeding. Dry conditions could curb feeder cattle sellers if dry weather continues. May pasture reports show 80 percent of normal grazing but cattle kept due to high prices. Forecasts predict drier conditions in intermountain and Northern states, risking pasture damage. Warm early growth shifts grazing reliance to current forage.
