Beef Checkoff Questions And Answers
About ‘Policy Issues’
1) Does the CBB support governmental or regulatory policy issues?
As the administrator of the beef checkoff, CBB cannot take a position on policy matters and cannot lobby. These are matters producers should take up with their industry organizations.
2) Why do people think cattle are ruining the environment? Can’t CBB use our checkoff dollars to tell a positive story about beef production and the environment?
A great example of this effort is a Website called Explore Beef dot org [ExploreBeef.org] that helps explain our business and our commitment to quality. It is focused on how we produce cattle and certainly is aimed at keeping things in perspective.
