“We have to stay relevant": NCBA weighs in on the value of the Beef Checkoff Program

“This is one way that cattle producers can make sure they have a serious voice in promoting and defending their own product in the marketplace...”

Ag groups are underscoring the importance of Checkoff Programs. It comes after a group called Farm Action requested the Department of Government Efficiency take a close look at the programs.

Ethan Lane with the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association spoke with RFD-TV’s own Tammi Arender on the Beef Checkoff, the benefits to producers, and what farmers need to know.
