Day of Debate
Posted by Diane – September 18th, 2008
Producers and importers who sit on the Beef Promotion Operating Committee are continuing their difficult and sometimes emotional debate today about how best to invest beef checkoff dollars in Fiscal Year 2009, which begins Oct. 1, 2008. In the several entries below posted yesterday, you can review the proposals that are before the committee. (Please note that the dollar values below represent the Beef Board dollars only and that the Federation of State Beef Councils also has approved funding from states that will increase the total for most of the programs listed.) We should have the decisions of the committee to post by tomorrow, as the final plan of work is ever-evolving throughout this day of debate.
