Letter to the Editor - Retain local control over your beef checkoff

Editor,

Because of recent court decisions, beef producers here won’t have a say in how checkoff dollars are spent in Montana.

Therefore, beef producers need to sign a consent form today or by Jan. 15 to keep your promotion dollars at work right here in Montana.

For information and a producer request to retain beef checkoff assessment forms, call the Montana Beef Council at 406-656-3336 or visit http://www.montanabeefcouncil.org online.

Beef checkoff dollars are important for beef education and promotion projects in our local area.
