ALL Beef Producers: May 10th Determines Your Future In this year of elections, the last thing you need is someone else talking to you about politics or your responsibility to other beef producers. It’s a busy time of the year, and you've got your mind on your operation, not on going to town. But, on Tuesday, May 10th, if you don’t stop for a few minutes, go to your County Extension Office and vote, you'll miss the referendum that decides the fate of the Beef Checkoff Program. Just a couple of years ago, our industry was being beaten up, and we were backing up . . . taking it. But we got our backs up and did something. We drew a line in the dust. We began to fight back. And you know what . . . it’s working. Many people are eating beef more often, and the newspaper headlines read that beef is coming back. Now, we're not telling you how to vote. That's your business. But, on Tuesday, May 10th, the National Beef Checkoff Program is going to continue, or it’s going to stop dead in its tracks. It’s totally up to you. So take a trip to your County Extension Office and vote. You'll be glad you did. Vote May 10th Beef Checkoff Referendum at your County Extension Office Don’t let someone else determine your future.
