Nebraska Democratic Senator Ben Nelson is asking President Obama to remember American farmers and ranchers on his upcoming trip to Asia.
Nelson wants the president to use his planned meetings with the Prime Minister of Japan and the President of South Korea to push them to lift their countries' restrictions on imports of U-S beef.
Nelson has fought hard for six years to get Japan and South Korea to lift restrictions imposed on U-S beef following a single case of mad cow disease...BSE...in the U-S.
They did resume imports in 2006, but have kept many of the restrictions...resulting in U-S beef sales still being only about a third of what they were before 2003.
Nelson says U.S. beef is the highest quality and safest in the world...with the World Animal Health Organization declaring U.S. beef safe for export and consumption...while Japan and South Korea continue to hide behind restrictions that have no scientific basis.
