Report From Monte Reese
Posted by Chuck – July 13th, 2006
Beef Board Chief Operating Officer Monte Reese was on the program at this morning’s board meeting to give a management report about the activities of the checkoff.
Monte started out talking about how much has been accomplished in the 20 years of the checkoff. He says producers have created a solid science-based research foundation, which has, time after time, prevented severe consumer confidence crises.
Monte also made a point of letting producers know how many expressions of appreciation he has received from other commodity groups for the Beef Checkoff’s perseverance in the face of constitutionality challenges at the Supreme Court. Since that final Supreme Court decision, he says, most challenges to other groups have been dismissed.
