According to the Cattlemen’s Beef Promotion and Research Board, 68-percent of dairy producers recently surveyed by an independent company approve of the $1-per-head beef checkoff program they contribute to as beef producers. Beef can be a valuable second income opportunity for dairy producers, it’s great to hear so many support the efforts of the checkoff program!
This level is similar to the 70 percent of beef producers surveyed who said they approved of the beef checkoff. Additionally, 66 percent of dairy producers surveyed said they were informed about The Beef Checkoff Program, with 21 percent of those saying they were “very well informed” about it.
“Nearly a quarter of the beef supply in the United States comes from dairy beef. That’s why the beef checkoff considers dairy producers an important segment of the beef industry,” said Cattlemen’s Beef Board member Jenny Senn, a dairy producer from Silverstreet, S.C.
The dairy industry is well represented on the Cattlemen’s Beef Board, with 15 dairy producers sitting on the board that administers all national checkoff-funded programs. Dairy producers’ investment into the beef checkoff funds six different areas —promotion, research, consumer information, industry information, foreign marketing and producer communications. Beef checkoff programs such as nutrition research and youth initiatives help build demand by educating consumers about the lean and nutrient-rich qualities of beef.
