[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 53452, member: 97"] I have been a supporter of the checkoff since its inception and think it has been beneficial to the cattle and beef industries.....But I do have some problems with it- mainly the uneveness of the collection- In many areas of the nation if the cattle are sold private treaty, or by contract their is no collection- Collection is only done at the salebarns- Other areas (like the brand inspection states) collect on all sales.. This problem may take care of itself if the USDA ever develops a strong mandatory ID law where all cattle have to be inspected at every change of ownership nationwide-- Until then it is kind of a farce............. I also question the policy and makeup of the Beef Board- Over the years the rules have been changed to make the control of the checkoff heavily dominated by the NCBA. This money was never intended to promote a political agenda or be an advertising fund source of the packers. If the checkoff survives the Supreme Court challenge, this may need to be addressed or I think we will see another vote challenge come to be which might vote down the checkoff...... [/QUOTE]
