Judge halts beef checkoff collections program
A federal judge ruled the national beef checkoff program violated First Amendment rights of cattle producers by compelling payments for advertising. He ordered a halt to collections, noting the money funds ads that benefit others not the producers. The decision, from U.S. District Judge Charles Kornmann, is expected to be appealed and drew mixed reactions from cattle groups and ranchers.
