Beef referendum rejected by Bernard Brenner
WASHINGTON UPI Farmers rejected a proposed beef checkoff that would raise 30 to 40 million dollars for advertising research and promotion to boost sales. The preliminary vote showed 130,464 farmers or 56.5 percent of 231,046 ballots supported the measure, failing to reach the two-thirds requirement under a 1976 law. Agriculture Secretary Bob Bergland said producers have spoken, and backers may revive the effort later. David Stroud noted likely renewed efforts through traditional funding channels.
