Senators Deb Fischer (R-NE), Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS), James Lankford (R-OK), and Roger Marshall (R-KS) also cosponsored the resolution.\n\n\u201cMinnesota cattle producers are vital for our agricultural economy, putting food on tables across our state and nationwide,\u201d said Senator Klobuchar. \u201cOfficially designating May as National Beef Month is a well-earned recognition of their hard work and dedication.\u201d\n\n\u201cNebraska is the beef state. Last year, we led the nation with over $1.75 billion in beef exports. We lead the nation in commercial cattle slaughter, with over 6 million head. We have the top three beef-producing counties in the nation,\u201d said Senator Ricketts. \u201cNebraska\u2019s ranchers are the best in the world. They\u2019ve shown it this year in response to this spring\u2019s devastating fires across the state. I\u2019m confident they will rebuild and I\u2019m grateful to honor them in the month of May.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe Minnesota State Cattlemen\u2019s Association is thrilled to have the month of May designated as National Beef Month, recognizing the hard working cattle producers and the importance of beef production across the nation. We thank Senators Amy Klobuchar and Pete Ricketts for leading this resolution,\u201d the Minnesota State Cattlemen\u2019s Association said in a statement.\n\n###", 1, "2026-05-07T13:38:59Z", "2026-05-07T13:40:28Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.klobuchar.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/news-releases?ID=F3488776-576C-4D1C-955E-7E27470AAF06"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.6051610000431538, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
