The Michigan Beef Industry Commission has voted to renew a state-level checkoff.
Chairman Monte Bordner tells Brownfield state collections will increase from 50 cents to $1 per head starting January 1st.
“We have dealt with a pretty serious decline in revenue, and it’s been reflected in the inability to do programming,” he shares.
For the past 40 years, the commission has received half of the federal dollar-per-head checkoff revenue and efforts to increase the rate in Michigan have been ongoing for a decade.
