[QUOTE="Lee VanRoss, post: 1662219, member: 40072"] Checkoff money that we U. S. Beef producers pay does not go to promote exclusively U. S. beef. As crazy as it sounds it's true. So our own checkoff dollars are used to help importers (as in non-US beef growers) keep our domestic prices lower by subsidizing foreign product. Then entities like the National Cattlemen that receive most of the checkoff funds ([I]that we US producers pay) [/I]lobby the U S Congress to kill marketing leverage tactics like Mandatory C. O. O, L. [Country of origin labeling] and the 50-14 cash market bill we so desparately need. What a vicious cycle the checkoff bill has created! The National Cattlemen Association engine is not running correctly and it is time to overhaul the checkoff system. It is high time the NCA stop representing foreign cattle producers such as Argentina , Brazil and Canada with the dollars they receive from us to be our agents. [/QUOTE]
