Apathy Threatens Pork Checkoff Referendum
Des Moines AP reports industry leaders fear voter apathy could derail the pork checkoff, which raises 25 cents per $100 of pigs sold and funds promotions including All-Star Game ads. Surveys suggest 75 to 80 percent of farmers may vote to continue, with absentee ballots due and results weeks away.

Pork checkoff funds aid promotion and research drive
About 42.2 million dollars are allocated to pork industry promotion and research. Iowa accounts for a quarter of hogs raised for market, with exports sustaining the industry. A Missouri economist links the campaign to a 3 percent rise in pork demand last year and a 4 percent rise in early 1988. Only about 7,000 of roughly 250,000 producers have claimed refunds representing about 9 percent of funds. Eligible voters include any producer owning two or more hogs sold between 1986 and 1988.
