Beef referendum faces light turnout across Coulee region
Farmers across several counties registered in a national beef checkoff plan amid low participation. In Jackson County 167 of about 1300 eligible farmers registered, Trempealeau County 205 of roughly 2500, with similar figures in Monroe Vernon La Crosse and others. If approved by a simple majority, a 68 member board will be appointed by the U S Secretary of Agriculture to oversee funds for research and promotion. Opposition from the National Farmers Organization argues the assessment acts as a tax and questions the link between beef demand and advertising.
