[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 443105, member: 97"] The NCBA is not supposed to get any of the funding off the check-off-- but they do have undue influence over it and thats been the big contention against the checkoff-since they are one of the only organizations (by the CBB charter) allowed to contract checkoff projects--meaning they have access to the funds and contract fees which many contend is then used as NCBA's private funding/advertising source....Since NCBA no longer represents the cattleman that pays the checkoff and supports the Packer/AMI this has caused major problems... A good example is the fact that both Australia and Canada are using a good share of their checkoff funding to support their countries BEEF-- while the heavily NCBA influenced CBB board still refuses to make the changes necessary to promote USA BEEF-- instead cuddlying up to the multinatinal packers in their support of all generic beef, so the multinationals can more greatly profit passing off cheap imports as US beef... Even after the USDA poll of checkoff payers showed that 92% wanted all or a portion of their checkoff fee (tax) used to support USA BEEF- born, raised, and slaughtered--NCBA/CBB has fought it... Now NCBA is now asking the CBB board to raise the fee to $2- and the only way they can do that is by a revote of all cattle raisers- which I think they will get if they agree to use a portion for US beef promotion--but they may stand to lose the entire checkoff if they maintain their old status quo stance....
