Decreased demand for livestock.
Farmers and ranchers rely on demand for their products to generate revenue. If there is a decrease in demand for livestock, it can result in a decrease in revenue for farmers and ranchers who raise these animals. The other options listed do not necessarily imply a loss in revenue for farmers and ranchers. A decrease in processing and distribution costs may actually increase profits for farmers and ranchers, while an increase in demand for livestock or people choosing to eat farm to table may increase revenue for those who can meet the demand.
