[QUOTE="J Baxter, post: 54011, member: 374"] I have to agree with caustic here. The checkoff is a tax even though it was voted on. The collection isn't through contributions, it is mandantory and like any tax if we raise it right now and then the border reopens and we are selling 60 cent steers it will stay at the higher rate. I know few of you are row croppers, but there is a checkoff on everything. A few years ago it came out that the cotton checkoff dollars were funding elaborate parties in New York - prostitutes and all. They were doing everything with the money but promoting cotton. $84m - Remember the presidential election and how many adds were run? You could run an advertising campaign like no other. To double it to $168m would you see that much added value from the extra dollars. Maybe we should collect all the checkoff dollars and fund a farm party in the upcoming election. JB [/QUOTE]
