## Resource

USDA clears the way for limited cattle imports from Mexico, reopening the Douglas, Arizona port August 24th in a phased rollout to combat the New World screwworm outbreak — a flesh-eating parasite that’s hit 42 U.S. cases, mostly in Texas. While states like Sonora and Chihuahua are deemed lower risk, critics argue the USDA’s response has been too slow and half-hearted, leaving ranchers and supply chains under strain. The goal? Restore normalcy — but questions remain about how well the crisis is being managed. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
