USDA Neutral On Beef Promotions For Farmers Vote
UPI report that the Agriculture Department will stay officially neutral on a proposed beef checkoff program estimated at 30 to 40 million dollars yearly. Officials say the department will not endorse yes or no, while extension agents provide balanced information to cattleowners. A referendum process is planned with two voting tests, including a 50 percent turnout and two thirds approval, before a 0.3 percent cattle value levy could be imposed.
