[QUOTE="preston39, post: 333671, member: 1487"] "Tennessee Program Offers Cattle Incentive The Tennessee Department of Agriculture is paying producers up to $500 for marketing their cattle through a USDA-approved age- and source-verified program and state-approved precondition program, according to an article appearing in The Leaf Chronicle. Tennessee Agriculture Commissioner Ken Givens said producers will be paid up to $250 for cattle enrolled in each program. “With these payments, we want to encourage better cattle management and to ensure that Tennessee cattle producers have access to domestic and international markets where age and source verification is fast becoming a standard,” Givens stated in the article. The new marketing incentive program, according to The Leaf Chronicle, is in addition to cattle genetic and handling facilities cost-share incentives funded through the Tennessee Agricultural Enhancement Program. Survey Shows Support for Beef Checkoff A nationwide survey released last week shows cattlemen support the beef checkoff, the Missouri Beef Industry Council reports. According to the organization, the survey found that 72% of producers approve of the beef checkoff program. Survey results also show 82% of cattlemen are in favor of voting periodically on the continuation of the checkoff program, and 92% of respondants would like to see all or at least a portion of beef checkoff dollars used to promote only U.S.-born-and-raised beef. The survey, which was conducted by the Gallup Organization, was a result of a May 2005 U.S. Supreme Court decision in a court case between the Cattlemen’s Beef Board (CBB) and the Livestock Marketing Association (LMA). The survey interviewed 80,000 producers during October and November 2006. The full report is available at [url=http://www.ams.usda.gov/lsg/mpb/rp-beef.htm]http://www.ams.usda.gov/lsg/mpb/rp-beef.htm[/url]. — compiled by Crystal Albers, associate editor, Angus Productions" [/QUOTE]
