When Marvey Shirley, 76, who raises cattle with his son-in-law - TopicsExpress



          

When Marvey Shirley, 76, who raises cattle with his son-in-law near Minburn, sells his cattle, $1 from the sale of each cow will go the Iowa Beef Industry Council. That group splits the money with the national Cattlemen’s Beef Board (CBB), created in 1985 to administer the national Beef Checkoff. Checkoff money is spent on research, communication, marketing and promotions that include the campaign “Beef. It’s What’s For Dinner.” Some farmers are pushing to make the program voluntary if they dont agree with the way the money is spent.
