The US Department of Agriculture has confirmed plans to raise the quota on Argentine beef imports. So what does this mean for Australia, if our largest export market quadruple's low-tariff imports from a different country? As the growing season unfolds, many farmers have faced the tough call to cut their crops early for hay, with grain yields looking uncertain.
