But that does not mean that hamburger costs are inexpensive by any means. Unfortunately for the Hamburglar, the 90% beef trim markets are at record highs causing the overall cost to produce a hamburger to jump like Mike. And this likely isn't a short term problem with the USDA recently showing beef production declines near 5% in 2025.![](https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/D4E12AQHiSVLCYeUzDw/article-inline_image-shrink_1500_2232/0/1715714152550?e=1721260800&v=beta&t=DwD4YMNALZnbZ1b3W6xZ7UVD3NS011uIZdsZ_qeQ4m8) Want to learn how Datum FS can help you anticipate commodity volatility?
