President Donald Trump is pausing higher tariffs on imported beef for 90 days, in an attempt to bring in lower priced options for consumers.
The move has Wisconsin beef farmers worried cheaper imports could undercut their products.
The owners of Lakeshore Land and Livestock in Algoma are concerned imported beef prices could impact their bottom line.
Co-Owner Rachel Harmann said she understands consumers want to find the best deals possible at the grocery store to give their wallets a break.
"If somebody can get it someplace cheaper, usually that's the route that they're going to go. And that's not really giving a positive incentive for farmers to really regrow our cow herds," Harmann said.
Harmann said Trump lowering tariffs from foreign-produced beef will hurt her farm's profits as people buy elsewhere.
The change allows up to 300,000 metric tons of additional ground beef to enter the U.S. at lower tariff rates.
Harmann expects the foreign beef to undercut her product.
