For once, it's not just raining in Retiro.This lovely, soggy morning is pretty representative of everywhere in Argentina and, there being so much news regarding the campo, I owe you an update.
In all the talk about la crisis en el campo, not much gets mentioned to often regarding the producers of that Argentine birth right: delicious, cheap beef. FarmingUK.com reports on how things work down here for ranchers and their article might just open a few eyes. Reuters does a nice job of showing how important Argentine wheat is to the world and especially Brazil. Finally, under the category of "It's tough all over", Beef Magazine (yes, indeed!) writes about the difficulties faced by farmers even in the US. This has never been a business for the weak-hearted.
On the bright side, we have our president promoting us.

Mike,
I thought the export ban on Argentine beef still applies. So Cristina is promoting agricultural exports as a good thing but not beef? I'm a bit confused here...
Fred
There are restrictions on exports and some countries have restrictions on importing Argentine beef.
The cattle sector has been ignored to a great extent during this long crisis in favor of resolving something with grain producers.
