McDonald’s drops Angus burgers from menu

High beef prices prompt McDonalds to phase-out Angus burgers from U.S. menu

By , Farms.com

May is National Beef month, but that hasn’t stopped McDonald’s from cutting back on its Angus burgers. McDonald’s said Thursday that it would be phasing out its Angus burgers from U.S. menus – the announcement comes after beef prices hit a 10-year high.

The company said in March that it would be debating whether or not to remove its Angus burgers, noting that making way for other food options may become a higher priority. In a statement McDonald’s spokesperson said that while the Angus burger will no longer be available in its restaurants that it may be brought back in the future.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture reported on Thursday that choice beef carcasses rose 24 cents per hundred pounds to $204.91, which is above previous record of $204.07. McDonald’s is trending towards chicken and recently introduced its premium chicken wraps.

The Angus burgers had been on McDonald’s menu for four years.

Demco's dual auger grain cart is designed for unloading efficiency, operator visibility, and safety in the field.

This dual-auger design features both an unload auger and a floor auger for enhanced grain cleanout and consistent flow, and the 22-inch unload auger is capable of moving up to 600 bushels per minute.

Farmers can also choose between right or left-handed unload options—right-handed unload improves visibility from the tractor cab. A new design allows both vertical and horizontal movement for precise grain placement during unloading.

Another key feature is the built-in fire safety system; a 300-gallon onboard water tank with a hose reel that provides field-ready fire suppression capability.

These dual auger grain carts are available in 1100, 1300, 1500, 1700, and 2200 bushel sizes.
