The Michigan
Department of Agriculture is asking the state’s dry bean growers if they want
to continue the state checkoff for the next five years.
The Michigan
Bean Commission was created to support the economic position of the state’s dry
bean farmers. Producers are currently assessed
10 cents per hundredweight.
Ballots will
be mailed on September 11th and must be returned by the 27th to the
department.
More than
half of the votes casts, representing more than half of the total production,
must approve the checkoff for it to be continued.
