ICA asks beef producers to vote Tuesday on checkoff continuation
Iowa Cattlemen's Association urges all beef producers to vote in county extension offices from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday to decide whether to renew the state beef checkoff of 50 cents per head for slaughter cattle and 35 cents for cattle not bound for market. The outcome affects funding for promotional and educational programs via the Iowa Beef Industry Council and may impact national checkoff relations and promotional work with media outlets and export efforts.
