David Anderson remembers visiting a meat packing plant in high school.
Anderson is now a professor at Texas A and M, and he says over the last few years fewer cattle have been walking into plants every year.
It's actually eighty-six million.
Lynn Tonzer at Kansas State University says that makes meatpackers operating costs jump.
Which is what we're seeing.
Cattle heading to fewer large scale packing plants.
Plenty of cattle walking in and conveyor lines full of carcasses, which is good for meat packers' margins, but this all could have implications in a few years.
Josh Maples is at Mississippi State University.
Inevitably, he says the national cattle herd will get bigger again.
I'm Keitlin Tan for Marketplace.
Something President Trump likes to say.
That was at a February press conference for an executive order prioritizing coal as a source of electricity.
But so far, it's not reflected in the numbers.
Michael Boyle is with the think tank Energy Innovation.
Natural gas surpassed coal 11 years ago.
Wind and solar did the same in 2024.
Stanley Reynolds with the University of Arizona says solar is relatively inexpensive.
Price point aside, coal has an infrastructure problem.
University of Wyoming's Rob Godby says coal power plants are kind of just eking along.
The Trump administration's answer is to build new ones, but we've yet to see a utility commit to that.
